Director Douglas Richard buys 70.0K shares of ALDX at $1.40; holds 195.0K post-trade. Stock down 73.1% from 52-week high.
Director Douglas Richard purchased 70,000 shares at $1.40 on 2026-03-19, increasing his position from 125,000 to 195,000 shares (+56.0% increase in holdings). The transaction occurred while Aldeyra Therapeutics reported a net loss of $7.7M over its most recent full fiscal year, indicating the company remains unprofitable. The stock has declined 73.1% from its 52-week high of $6.72 and is now trading at $1.81, representing a 30-day decline of 63.9%. Richard's purchase history shows only 1 prior buy across all his open-market activity, making this accumulation the second documented discretionary purchase in his insider trading record. The combination of significant share count addition, sustained price deterioration, and the company's negative profitability creates a signal worth monitoring for investor patterns at this stage of the company's performance cycle.
