Significance 6/10

Director Barton Scot bought 8,300 NWPP shares at $3.05 on 2025-02-10; timing aligns with strong same-ticker track record.

Director Long Barton Scot purchased 8,300 shares at $3.05, a discretionary open-market buy that increased his holdings by 6.2% to 141.3K shares. His prior 4 trades at NWPP all showed positive 90-day returns, with outcomes ranging from 5.9% to 32.3%, suggesting consistent execution at favorable entry points at this ticker. The current stock price of $3.01 sits 15.0% below the 52-week high and has declined 15.1% in the past 30 days, placing the buy in a near-term weakness window. However, the stock's fundamentals show a moderate P/E of 10.03 and positive net income of $2.1M against quarterly revenue of $995.0K, with annual growth slightly negative at -2.1%, indicating the company is profitable but not expanding. The alignment between his prior timing success at NWPP and the entry point during a recent drawdown warrants investor attention to the buy signal, though near-term price pressure and modest fundamentals prevent a higher significance rating.

Director Barton Scot bought 3,200 shares of NWPP at $3.03 on 2024-11-26; cluster pattern with 2 other insider buys in 14 days

Director Barton Scot purchased 3,200 shares for $9,696.00 on 2024-11-26, bringing his holdings to 133,042 shares, a +2.5% increase. His prior trades at NWPP show a 3-of-4 well-timed pattern at the 90-day mark, with recent purchases in September, August, and July generating 30-day returns of +2.6%, +6.8%, respectively. The stock is currently at $3.00, unchanged from the 52-week high but up 8.3% over 30 days and 12.4% over 90 days. Notably, this purchase occurs within a cluster of 2 other insider buys in the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated accumulation activity. The company trades at a low P/E of 10.00 with a market cap of $70,931,400.00, though annual revenue declined 2.1% year-over-year to $995,000.00 latest quarter.

Significance 5/10

Director Long Barton Scot bought 12,450 shares of NWPP at $2.68; holds 129,842 post-transaction.

Director Long Barton Scot purchased 12,450 shares at $2.68, increasing his holdings by 10.6% to 129,842 shares. This represents his fifth open-market purchase of NWPP since May 2023, with three buys occurring in the past month (July 31, August 20, August 26), suggesting sustained interest in accumulating equity at the current price band. At $2.68, the stock trades 9.2% below its 52-week high of $2.95 and within the 52-week range of $2.31–$2.95, near the lower quartile. His cross-ticker track record shows an 80.00% 90-day win rate with average 90-day returns of +2.7%, though same-ticker outcomes at NWPP have been mixed: one measurable buy (July 31, 2024) showed +6.8% over 30 days but outcomes at the 90-day horizon remain incomplete for the most recent transactions. The company trades at a P/E of 9.24 with a market cap of $63.4M, and reported latest-quarter revenue of $967.0K and net income of $1.7M, though annual revenue growth stands at -2.1%.

Buy

Significance 4/10

Director Barton Scot bought 400 shares of NWPP at $2.67; 2nd purchase in a week amid -2.1% annual revenue decline

Barton Scot purchased 400 shares at $2.67, increasing his holdings to 117,392 shares on August 26, 2024, marking the second buy within six days at this ticker. His same-ticker history shows mixed results: of five prior trades, only two have measurable 90-day outcomes, with one delivering +4.6% (Nov 2023) but another producing -0.7% (May 2024). His cross-ticker track record shows stronger performance—7 prior buys with 80.00% 90-day win rate and +2.7% average 90-day return. However, the company faces headwinds: annual revenue declined 2.1% year-over-year, and the stock is -9.5% from its 52-week high. The clustering of two purchases in six days and small transaction size ($1.1K) do not establish a compelling accumulation signal, particularly given near-term fundamental softness and mixed timing precision at this specific ticker.

Significance 5/10

Director Scot buys 6,942 shares of NWPP at $2.71 on 2024-08-20; holds 117.0K shares post-trade

Director Barton Scot purchased 6,942 shares at $2.71, increasing his holdings from 110.0K to 117.0K shares (+6.3%). The transaction value of $18,812.82 represents a modest absolute commitment. At the same ticker (NWPP), Scot's prior 4 measurable trades showed a 75% positive 90-day outcome rate (3 of 4 well-timed), suggesting his historical buy decisions at this company have captured subsequent appreciation. However, this buy occurs while the current price of $2.68 is -9.2% from the 52-week high and the company faces headwinds: annual revenue growth is -2.1% and the latest quarter generated only $967.0K in revenue against $1.7M net income. Scot's cross-ticker track record shows an 80% 90-day win rate, but his same-ticker outcomes at NWPP are less consistent; his most recent NWPP buy on 2024-07-31 has not yet accumulated measurable return. The transaction is a routine portfolio addition rather than an outsized accumulation.

Significance 6/10

Barton Scot acquires 7,436 NWPP shares at $2.50; holdings rise to 110,050 shares, extending 4-of-4 pattern of well-timed buys at this ticker.

Barton Scot purchased 7,436 shares of NEW PEOPLES BANKSHARES INC at $2.50 on 2024-07-31, increasing his stake to 110,050 shares. His same-ticker trade history shows a consistent pattern: 4 of his 4 prior measurable buys at NWPP all posted positive 90-day returns, with outcomes ranging from +0.2% to +6.1%. This current transaction aligns with that historical behavior at this specific ticker. The stock currently trades at $2.68, down 9.2% from its 52-week high but up 8.1% over 90 days, reflecting modest upward momentum in a small-cap bank with a P/E of 9.24 and negative annual revenue growth of -2.1%. The timing consistency at this ticker warrants attention to whether this transaction continues the pattern.
