Director Asit Parikh bought 10,000 shares (10.0K shares) at blended avg $2.50 on PHAT; stock down 88.3% from 52-week high.
Asit Parikh, a Director at Phathom Pharmaceuticals, executed 2 purchases totaling 10,000 shares for $24,984.50 on May 6–7, 2025, at a blended average price of $2.50, increasing his holdings by 11.7% to 95,500 shares. The timing is noteworthy: the current stock price of $2.29 is 88.3% below the 52-week high of $19.50, and the stock has declined 46.1% in the prior 30 days and 59.9% in the prior 90 days. However, Parikh's prior trades at PHAT reveal a pattern of poor timing: across 5 measurable prior purchases at this ticker, none achieved positive 90-day returns, with outcomes ranging from +10.4% (30-day on a March 2025 buy) to -48.1% (90-day on a December 2024 buy). The company is unprofitable ($-94.3M net income in the latest fiscal year) despite strong revenue growth of +8001.5% year-over-year, though quarterly revenue stands at only $28.5M. This purchase occurs in a heavily distressed context with no clear evidence that prior buys at depressed valuations by this director have proven prescient.
