Director Locke Anna T acquired 225 shares of Southern First Bancshares at $44.05, a modest purchase totaling $9,912.24 that increased her position by 7.3% to 3,292 shares. Her prior four purchases at this ticker yielded mixed results: one well-timed buy on 2023-05-17 that gained 17.2% over 90 days, while the three more recent purchases (2025-02-10, 2024-03-13, 2023-08-01) all declined over the 90-day periods, with losses ranging from -3.0% to -18.6%. The current stock trades at $44.11, just -3.1% below its 52-week high of $45.54, and the company shows solid fundamentals with +37.8% annual revenue growth, P/E of 13.83, and recent net income of $8.7M. The recency of poor timing outcomes at this specific ticker—three consecutive buys that underperformed—contrasts with the current valuation near 52-week highs, suggesting a pattern where her entry points may have preceded subsequent weakness rather than strength.

Director Locke buys 360 SFST shares at $37.01; stock now $36.17, down 19.4% from 52-week high.

Director Anna T Locke purchased 360 shares of Southern First Bancshares at $37.01 on 2025-02-10, increasing her holdings from 2,222 to 2,582 shares (+16.2%). The transaction occurred at a price $0.84 above the current market price of $36.17.

The stock trades at a P/E of 21.03 and has declined 19.4% from its 52-week high, though it has risen 2.6% over the past 30 days and the company reported net income of $4.4M on quarterly revenue of $1.4M. The modest transaction size and ambiguous timing pattern suggest limited signaling power regarding near-term price direction.
