Significance 7/10

CEO Robert Piconi bought 12,500 NRGV shares at $3.21 (31 Mar 2026); 4 of 4 prior buys at this ticker yielded positive 90d returns (+4.2% to +124.7%).

Robert Piconi, Chief Executive Officer, purchased 12,500 shares at $3.21 on 2026-03-31, expanding his holdings to 16.92M shares. The current price of $3.40 reflects the stock trading -44.0% from its 52-week high of $6.07. Piconi's prior trade history at NRGV shows a consistent pattern: all 4 prior buy transactions with measurable 90-day outcomes produced positive returns, ranging from +4.2% to +124.7%, indicating well-timed entry points at the 90-day mark. Against this backdrop, his purchase follows a 30-day gain of +4.6% and 90-day decline of -26.2%, suggesting he is accumulating during a period of downward pressure. His cross-ticker track record of 10 prior open-market buys averaged +38.8% over 30 days and +72.9% over 90 days with an 87.50% win rate, though same-ticker outcomes are the more relevant comparison. The company remains unprofitable (net income $-26.8M in the latest quarter), though revenue grew +340.9% year-over-year, providing context for both the depressed valuation and the insider's timing rationale.

NRGV CEO buys 7,500 shares at $3.26; stock down 44.0% from 52-week high, extends pattern of 5 prior buys all showing positive 90d returns.

CEO Robert Piconi purchased 7,500 shares at $3.26, bringing his holdings to 20.09M shares. The stock is trading at $3.40 but has fallen 44.0% from its 52-week high of $6.07 and is down 34.7% over the past 30 days. Notably, his prior 5 purchases at NRGV showed a perfect 5 of 5 timing pattern, with all exhibiting positive 90-day returns ranging from +4.2% to +124.7%, and his cross-ticker buy track record shows 87.50% win rate over 90 days with average returns of +72.9%. The purchase occurs against a backdrop of negative fundamentals: the company recorded a net loss of $26.8M in the latest quarter, annual revenue declined 86.5%, and market cap stands at $570.5M. The transaction's significance lies in the timing—coming after steep recent declines—and the insider's historical accuracy with prior purchases at this specific ticker.

NRGV CEO Piconi buys 10,000 shares at $3.00; stock down 29.6% from 52-week high as company posts $-26.8M loss on $33.3M revenue.

Piconi Robert, CEO of Energy Vault Holdings, purchased 10,000 shares at $3.00, bringing his total holdings to 20.21M shares. The company is facing significant operational headwinds: annual revenue has contracted 86.5% year-over-year, the latest quarterly revenue stands at $33.3M, and full-year net income was negative at $-26.8M. The stock is currently trading at $3.10, down 29.6% from its 52-week high of $4.40, placing it near the lower end of its 52-week range ($0.63–$4.40). While Piconi's cross-ticker buy history shows an average 90-day return of +49.4% across 8 prior transactions, his same-ticker history at NRGV consists entirely of recent trades (all within the last 3 months) with measurable 30-day outcomes ranging from +24.1% to +77.6%, but no 90-day outcomes yet available for any of them. The $30.0K transaction represents a marginal increase of 10,000 shares against an already massive 20.20M-share base. Without clarity on whether this purchase reflects operational confidence or routine portfolio management, investors should monitor the company's path to profitability and near-term revenue stabilization against the backdrop of the recent sharp price decline.

CEO Piconi bought 17,500 shares of NRGV at $3.02 on 2025-09-19 (total $52.9K); stock up 92.0% in 30 days amid cluster buying

Robert Piconi, CEO, purchased 17,500 shares at $3.02, bringing his total holdings to 20.20M shares. This buy occurs during a period of sharp momentum—the stock has rallied 92.0% over the past 30 days and 285.9% over 90 days, now trading at the 52-week high of $3.11. Notably, Piconi executed 5 separate purchases at NRGV within the past month (including buys on 2025-09-17, 2025-09-16, 2025-08-29, 2025-08-28, and the current 2025-09-19 transaction), and 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, forming a cluster acquisition pattern. However, the fundamental backdrop remains weak: the company reported $-34.9M net income in its latest quarter, annual revenue declined 86.5% year-over-year, and the company remains unprofitable. The rapid sequential purchases by the CEO during a steep price run-up, combined with deteriorating financial metrics, present a layered signal that warrants investor attention to both the timing dynamics and the operational health underlying these acquisitions.

Significance 6/10

CEO Robert Piconi buys 50,000 NRGV shares at $2.30; 5th purchase in 3 weeks amid 165.4% 90-day rally in unprofitable company.

Robert Piconi, Chief Executive Officer, purchased 50,000 shares at $2.30 on 2025-09-17, his fifth buy at NRGV in just three weeks (prior purchases on 2025-09-16, 2025-08-29, and 2025-08-28). The stock has risen 165.4% over 90 days and 56.3% over 30 days, currently trading at $2.36, only 6.7% below its 52-week high. However, the company reported revenue of $8.5M in the latest quarter with net income of $-34.9M, and annual revenue declined 86.5% year-over-year, indicating fundamental deterioration. The pattern of consecutive daily/weekly buys at rising prices during a sharp rally, combined with deeply negative earnings and collapsing revenues, warrants investor scrutiny of whether these purchases reflect CEO conviction or other strategic considerations given the company's profitability trajectory.

CEO Piconi bought 25,000 NRGV shares at $2.21 (9/16/25); 20.13M shares held; company down -86.5% in annual revenue with -$34.9M net loss.

CEO Robert Piconi purchased 25,000 shares of Energy Vault Holdings at $2.21 on September 16, 2025, extending his pattern of open-market accumulation at this ticker (5 prior NRGV trades since late 2023). At the same-ticker level, his most recent measurable trade on 2024-09-13 posted a +119.1% 90-day return, though an earlier buy on 2023-09-15 declined -20.3% over the same horizon, illustrating mixed execution timing historically. The company reported severely deteriorated fundamentals: annual revenue contracted -86.5%, the latest quarter generated only $8.5M in revenue, and full-year net income stands at -$34.9M, indicating sustained unprofitability. The 30-day and 90-day price momentum (+52.7% and +154.1% respectively) reflects recent strength, though the stock trades -10.7% below its 52-week high, leaving the current $2.26 price materially below the year's peak of $2.53.

CEO Piconi buys 22,500 shares at $1.92; 5 insider cluster buys in 14 days amid unprofitable fundamentals

Chief Executive Officer Robert Piconi purchased 22,500 shares at $1.92 on 2025-08-29, bringing his holdings to 20,110,026 shares, while 5 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days—a cluster buy pattern. The timing context is notably mixed: at NRGV specifically, Piconi's prior buys showed 1 of 2 well-timed acquisitions at the 90-day mark, though his most recent same-ticker purchase (2024-09-13) achieved a 90d return of +119.1%. However, fundamental headwinds are substantial—the company posted revenue of $8,512,000.00 (latest quarter) against net income of $-34,927,000.00, with annual revenue growth of -86.5% and the company unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year. The stock has gained +83.6% over 30 days and +144.5% over 90 days, trading at $2.02 versus the transaction price of $1.92, yet remains -20.2% from its 52-week high. The convergence of an insider purchase cluster with a deeply unprofitable business in sharp revenue decline raises the question of whether accumulation reflects conviction or is part of a broader liquidity or shareholder-support dynamic.

Significance 6/10

CEO Piconi bought 55,000 NRGV shares at $1.71; 5 other insiders also bought within 14 days amid -86.5% revenue decline.

Robert Piconi, Chief Executive Officer, purchased 55,000 shares at $1.71 on 2025-08-28, expanding his holdings to 20.09M shares. This transaction occurs within a cluster pattern—5 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days—suggesting coordinated management response to depressed valuation. The company faces severe headwinds: annual revenue growth is -86.5%, latest quarterly revenue is $8.5M, and the company posted a $-34.9M net loss over its most recent full fiscal year. The stock is currently trading at $1.90, down 24.9% from its 52-week high of $2.53 but up 59.7% over the past 30 days and +130.0% over 90 days, indicating recent recovery from a trough. In his same-ticker history at NRGV, Piconi has completed two measurable buys: a 2024-09-13 purchase that returned +119.1% at the 90-day mark, and a 2023-09-15 purchase that declined -20.3% at the 90-day mark, yielding a 50% success rate. The cluster buy pattern paired with the multi-year revenue contraction and sustained losses warrants examination of whether insiders perceive a fundamental inflection or are responding to temporary price dislocation.

CEO Piconi buys 150,000 shares of NRGV at $1.57; stock now $1.80; prior same-ticker buy 30d record mixed (26.8% to -17.0%)

Robert Piconi, CEO of Energy Vault Holdings, purchased 150,000 shares at $1.57, expanding his stake to 17.62M shares. The stock has recovered 8.4% over the prior 30 days and 80.6% over 90 days after a sharp decline from its 52-week high of $2.61. However, Piconi's track record at this ticker is inconsistent: his September 2024 buy showed 26.8% 30-day gains, while his September 2023 buy delivered -17.0% 30-day and -20.3% 90-day returns. Across his open-market history at all tickers, his average 90-day return is -20.3% with a 0% win rate, suggesting discretionary purchases have not demonstrated reliable timing. The company remains unprofitable (net income of $-26.6M on revenue of $1.2M last quarter) despite 134.1% annual revenue growth, adding fundamental risk to price momentum.

Significance 3/10

CEO Piconi buys 300,000 NRGV shares at $0.87; stock now $0.79 (-74.8% from 52-wk high, -19.0% 30d).

Robert Piconi, the CEO of Energy Vault Holdings, purchased 300,000 shares at $0.87 on 2024-09-13, increasing his holdings to 17,476,220 shares. However, the stock has declined to $0.79 since the transaction, and is down 74.8% from its 52-week high of $3.13. Piconi's prior open-market buy at this ticker (2023-09-15) showed a 90-day return of -20.3%, establishing a pattern of unfavorable timing outcomes. The company remains unprofitable with a net income of $-26.2M in its most recent full fiscal year, though revenue growth has accelerated at 134.1% year-over-year. The combination of depressed stock price, prior trading losses at this ticker, and continued operating losses creates a context where the significance of this insider purchase is limited by structural headwinds rather than a clear confidence signal.
