COLE LECIL E

CEO Cole Lecil E bought 38,155 shares of CVGW at $24.60 (April 14); stock +11.0% in 30 days as cluster emerges.

CEO Cole Lecil E purchased 38,155 shares at $24.60 on 2025-04-14, increasing his holdings by 7.1% to 574,225 shares. The timing aligns with a broader cluster pattern: 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days. The stock has since risen 11.0% over the 30-day period following the transaction. However, contextual headwinds are material: the company reported annual revenue growth of -31.9%, full-year net income was negative, and the P/E stands at 48.46, reflecting elevated valuation despite depressed profitability. The CEO's prior CVGW-specific buy transactions from 2023 showed mixed 90-day outcomes (-15.7% and -12.6%), and his cross-ticker history reflects a 0.00% 90-day win rate across 4 prior buys, suggesting prior large positions did not appreciate materially beyond the first month.

CVGW CEO Cole Lecil E bought 40,775 shares at $24.57 on 2025-04-15; cluster buy with 2 other insiders in 14 days.

Cole Lecil E, Chief Executive Officer of Calavo Growers Inc, purchased 40,775 shares at $24.57 for $1,001,841.75 on 2025-04-15, adding 7.1% to his position (615.0K shares post-transaction). This purchase occurred as part of a cluster pattern with 2 other insiders buying within the same 14-day window. However, the company's fundamentals present a mixed picture: annual revenue growth was -31.9%, the company reported negative full-year net income, and the current P/E ratio stands at 48.46. His own prior trades at CVGW showed a 90-day win rate of 0.00% (0 of 2 prior buys were well-timed, with 90-day returns of -15.7% and -12.6%), and his cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of -14.2%. While the stock has risen 11.0% over the past 30 days, this buy occurred at a discount to the 52-week high ($29.64) yet in an environment of company-level revenue contraction and unprofitability.

The company's fundamentals present headwinds—annual revenue declined 31.9% year-over-year, the firm was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year, and the stock trades at a P/E of 44.63 despite only $4.4M net income on $154.4M quarterly revenue.
