Luke Sims, President & CEO of Eagle Capital Growth Fund, purchased 2,000 shares at $10.75 on 2025-10-17, bringing his holdings to 293.9K shares.

The current price of $10.82 sits near the transaction price and within the 52-week range of $9.15–$11.14, while the 30-day and 90-day price movements (+1.5% and +3.9% respectively) align with the modest gains observed after his earlier GRF purchases. This pattern of repeated accumulation coupled with a flawless 90-day track record at this single ticker represents the most material signal available from the filing.

Across all open-market trades, Sims's track record shows a 100.00% 90-day win rate on buys with an average 90d return of +3.6%; however, his same-ticker history at GRF is more modest, with 3 of 4 prior GRF trades showing positive 90-day outcomes. The CEO's repeated accumulation at depressed price levels relative to the 52-week range warrants investor observation of both the underlying fundamentals driving the purchases and whether this pattern continues.

Of his three prior buys at GRF, all generated positive 90-day returns; he also executed one prior sell in May 2023 at this ticker (30d +0.0%, 90d +4.7%, meaning the stock rose after his exit).
