ODELL RICHARD D

PAL CEO Odell buys 54,000 shares at $9.20; stock down 53.4% from 52-week high, down 49.4% in 90 days

CEO Richard Odell purchased 54,000 shares at $9.20 on 2024-11-14, increasing holdings to 753.8K shares. The transaction occurred against a backdrop of significant price deterioration: the stock is -53.4% from its 52-week high of $20.49 and down 49.4% over the past 90 days. The company is currently unprofitable, posting a net loss of $-1.4M on revenues of $91.5M in the latest quarter. The buy appears discretionary rather than formulaic, but the current market context—depressed valuation combined with operating losses—provides limited directional signal without additional context on management's strategic rationale or near-term visibility.

Director Odell sold 3,700 SAIA shares ($2.0M) at $547.40; holdings drop 58.8% to 2,590 shares

ODELL RICHARD D, a director of SAIA INC, sold 3,700 shares on 2024-11-08 at $547.40 per share, reducing his holdings from 6,290 to 2,590 shares—a 58.8% reduction in position size totaling $2,025,380.00. His prior sell at this same ticker (2024-02-06) showed a 90-day return of -26.7%, representing a well-timed exit relative to subsequent price decline. Against the company's current P/E of 38.68 and recent 90-day appreciation of +45.4%, this sale represents a material reduction in director exposure despite the stock's strong near-term momentum. The timing of this sell—following a +45.4% run in 90 days and occurring 9.9% below the 52-week high—warrants attention given the director's prior pattern of well-timed exits at this ticker.
