Director Hirsch buys 500 UMH shares at $14.48; stock down 24.0% from 52-week high and 11.6% in 30 days.
Matthew I. Hirsch, Director, purchased 500 shares of UMH Properties on 2026-03-27 at $14.48, adding modestly to his holdings of 60.8K shares. The buy occurs amid significant price weakness: UMH is down 24.0% from its 52-week high of $18.82 and has declined 11.6% over the past 30 days, suggesting the director is purchasing into a material drawdown. However, Hirsch's cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior open-market buy with an average 90-day return of -13.6% and a 0.00% win rate, indicating his prior buys have not preceded gains. His single prior transaction at UMH itself—a buy on 2023-07-10—also posted a 90-day return of -13.6%, extending a pattern of poorly-timed entry points. The company's fundamentals remain solid (Revenue $66.9M, Net income $9.3M, Annual revenue growth +8.8%, Market cap $1.2B), but the director's track record of entry timing and the stock's steep recent decline warrant careful attention to the underlying business trajectory.
