FCF EVP/Chief Banking Officer Michael P McCuen bought 3,090 shares at $16.19 on 2025-11-21; stock now down -17.0% from 52-week high.
Michael P McCuen, EVP and Chief Banking Officer, purchased 3,090 shares of First Commonwealth Financial at $16.19, increasing his holdings from 59,021 to 62,111 shares. The company trades at a P/E of 11.67 with $41.3M net income, suggesting modest valuation multiples. However, this purchase occurs against a difficult price backdrop: the stock is -17.0% from its 52-week high and down -9.1% over the past 90 days. McCuen's prior purchasing activity at this ticker has not generated positive returns; his two prior FCF buys measurable at the 90-day mark returned -5.5% and -0.4%, with a 0% win rate over that period. His cross-ticker track record shows an average 90d return of -2.9%, providing no confidence that current entry timing is advantageous relative to fundamental opportunity.
EVP Michael McCuen buys 2,826 shares of FCF at $17.67; third consecutive open-market buy with prior 90d returns of -6.9% and -0.4%.
McCuen purchased 2,826 shares at $17.67 on 2025-09-03, expanding his holdings to 59,021 shares—a 5.0% increase. The current price of $18.02 sits 7.2% below the 52-week high of $19.41, and the stock has gained 7.9% over 30 days and 14.0% over 90 days from prior lows. However, McCuen's track record at this ticker is unfavorable: his two prior FCF purchases (2025-02-10 and 2024-09-23) delivered 90-day returns of -6.9% and -0.4% respectively, with a 0.00% win rate across both trades. His cross-ticker buy history also shows weak outcomes (avg 90d return -2.9%, 0% win rate across 2 prior buys). This third consecutive purchase suggests persistent accumulation, but the absence of prior well-timed entry points at this ticker presents limited evidence of prescience in identifying attractive entry levels.
EVP McCuen buys 3,020 shares of FCF at $16.57; stock now at $16.91, up 6.4% in 30 days but down 10.2% in 90 days from prior buy.
Michael P McCuen, EVP and Chief Lending Officer, purchased 3,020 shares at $16.57 on 2025-02-10, increasing his holdings by 5.2% to 60,643 shares total. This marks his second open-market purchase at First Commonwealth Financial, following a buy on 2024-09-23 that showed a -0.4% return over 90 days. His cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior buy with an average 90-day return of -0.4% and a 0.00% win rate, indicating that his previous stock selections did not outpace market performance on that timeframe. The stock has gained 6.4% over the last 30 days but remains 10.2% below its 52-week high, trading near the lower end of its annual range at current levels.
EVP/Chief Lending Officer McCuen buys 2,919 shares of FCF at $16.99; holdings rise to 57,623 shares
McCuen Michael P, serving as EVP and Chief Lending Officer, purchased 2,919 shares at $16.99 on 2024-09-23, increasing his holdings by 5.3% to 57,623 shares. The transaction occurred at a price 1.4% above the current market price of $16.75, and roughly at the midpoint of the 52-week range ($11.55–$18.60). First Commonwealth Financial trades at a P/E of 10.81 with $37.1M in net income and a $1.7B market cap. As a senior lending executive with substantial accumulated holdings, a discretionary open-market purchase of this size suggests alignment with the company's direction, though the post-transaction holding level and modest transaction volume relative to total position size warrant context on broader insider activity at the company before drawing firm conclusions.
