Significance 3/10

VIRC CEO Robert A Virtue bought 4,300 shares for $26,758 (blended $6.22); stock now $6.50, -28.4% from 52-week high.

Robert A Virtue, CEO of VIRCO MFG CORPORATION, purchased 2 separate tranches totaling 4,300 shares on 2026-06-11 at an average price of $6.22, adding 0.9% to his 501.8K-share position. The company is facing significant headwinds: annual revenue declined 25.0%, the latest quarter generated a net loss of $-2.8M on revenue of $30.7M, and the stock trades at a P/E of 40.62 while down 28.4% from its 52-week high of $9.08. His prior trades at VIRC show a concerning pattern: 5 prior buys with 0 of 2 measurable outcomes well-timed at the 90-day horizon, including declines of -7.4% and -9.3% in two completed cycles. The current 30-day and 90-day price moves (+7.8% and +3.8%, respectively, since transaction date) remain provisional, but the historical record at this ticker does not support confidence in the timing of his purchases here.

Significance 4/10

CEO Robert A Virtue buys 2,700 shares at $6.22; cluster pattern with 2 other insiders buying within 14 days as stock is down 41.8% from 52-week high.

CEO Robert A Virtue executed 2 separate purchases totaling 2,700 shares for $16,794.00 on 2026-04-14, increasing his holdings to 501,824 shares. The purchases occur as VIRC trades at $6.06, down 41.8% from its 52-week high of $10.42, and within a cluster where 2 other insiders also bought in the past 14 days. However, the fundamentals present challenges: the company reported a net loss of $-1,325,000.00 in the latest quarter, annual revenue declined 25.0% year-over-year, and the stock trades at a P/E of 37.88. Virtue's prior same-ticker buy history at VIRC shows 0 of 3 prior buys were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with outcomes of -1.4%, -0.3%, and -17.9% respectively over 90 days. The cluster activity and depressed valuation may be noteworthy, but deteriorating fundamentals and the insider's poor timing history on this stock warrant scrutiny.

Significance 3/10

VIRC CEO Virtue buys 3,300 shares at $5.52; stock now $5.85, down 43.9% from 52-week high, company posted $-1.3M net income loss.

CEO Robert A. Virtue purchased 3,300 shares of VIRCO MFG at $5.52 on 2026-04-10, increasing his holdings to 499.1K shares. The purchase price aligns with the 52-week low of $5.52, but the stock has declined 8.0% over the past 30 days and is trading 43.9% below the 52-week high of $10.42. Fundamentally, the company reported a net income loss of $-1.3M on quarterly revenue of $47.6M, with annual revenue down 25.0% year-over-year. Virtue's prior buys at VIRC show a poor timing record: his three previous purchases (2025-07-14, 2025-10-16, 2026-01-13) yielded 90-day returns of -17.9%, -9.3%, and -7.4% respectively, with a 0% success rate at the 90-day mark. The current transaction occurs against both deteriorating fundamentals and a pattern of underwater positions from prior insider acquisitions at this ticker.

Significance 4/10

VIRC CEO Robert A Virtue bought 2,500 shares at $6.32; stock down -45.9% from 52-week high, trading near 52-week low of $6.28

VIRTUE bought 2,500 shares at $6.32 on 2026-01-13, bringing his holdings to 495,824 shares, in a company that reported net income of $-1.3M against revenue of $47.6M and has declined -45.9% from its 52-week high of $11.69. His cross-ticker track record shows 0 wins on 90-day returns (average -17.9%), and his two prior trades at VIRC both occurred at higher prices (2025-10-16 at $6.28+ and 2025-07-14), neither of which generated positive 90-day returns. The current purchase near the 52-week low of $6.28 follows a pattern of purchases at elevated levels relative to recent bottoms, and the stock's -6.1% decline over the past 30 days suggests continued downward momentum post-transaction.

Significance 3/10

CEO Robert Virtue buys 5,000 VIRC shares at $6.96; stock down 58.2% from 52-week high of $16.73.

CEO Robert Virtue purchased 5,000 shares at $6.96, increasing holdings from 488.3K to 493.3K shares. The purchase occurs in a challenged environment: VIRC is trading at $7.00, down 58.2% from its 52-week high of $16.73, and down 13.3% over the past 30 days. Virtue's cross-ticker track record shows 1 prior buy with a 90-day return of -17.9%, and his only prior VIRC purchase (2025-07-14) also generated a -17.9% return after 90 days, resulting in a 0.00% win rate on VIRC. The company reports net income of $10.2M on $92.1M revenue, with an 8.14 P/E, suggesting profitability; however, annual revenue contracted 1.1% year-over-year. This open-market purchase adds to a modest absolute position increase, but without evidence of positive prior trade outcomes at this ticker, the trade reflects activity in a materially depressed price environment rather than a pattern of well-timed accumulation.

Significance 4/10

CEO Virtue buys 2,000 shares of VIRC at $8.15; holds 488.3K shares as stock down -57.3% from 52-week high.

CEO Robert A Virtue purchased 2,000 shares at $8.15 on 2025-07-14, increasing his holdings by 0.4% to 488.3K shares. The purchase occurs in a deteriorated price environment: the stock trades at $7.79, down -57.3% from the 52-week high of $18.24 and -24.1% over the past 90 days. The company's fundamentals show modest profitability (net income $732.0K on revenue $33.8M in the latest quarter) with a 6.04 P/E and flat annual revenue growth of -1.1%. The CEO's modest buy—$16.3K total value—is small relative to his existing stake and the company's $122.6M market cap, providing limited insight into his conviction about recovery from the significant drawdown.
