Director Robert Robotti buys 25,000 TDW shares for $1.1M across 2 trades, now holding 2.23M shares; prior TDW trades mixed, stock down 60.3% from 52-week peak.

Robert Robotti (Director) executed 2 separate purchases totaling 25,000 shares for $1,052,147.50 at an average price of $42.09, increasing his holdings to 2,234,957 shares. Tidewater's stock currently trades at $42.23, near the transaction price, after declining 60.3% from its 52-week high of $106.47, though it has gained 5.0% over the past 30 days. Robotti's own record at TDW shows mixed outcomes: his 5 prior trades include 2 outright losses at the 30-day mark (−11.9%, −15.1%) and only 1 of 3 measureable buys achieved positive 90-day returns (+4.4%), suggesting this insider's entry timing at this specific ticker has not been reliable. Despite the company's strong fundamentals (annual revenue growth of +33.2%, P/E of 11.86, revenue of $333.4M, and net income of $42.7M), his cross-ticker track record shows that among 7 prior buys, only a 20.00% 90-day win rate, indicating limited overall predictive power from his buying decisions.

Significance 4/10

Director Robert Robotti buys 560 TDW shares at $40.55; stock down 62.2% from 52-week high of $106.47.

Robert Robotti, a director of Tidewater Inc, purchased 560 shares at $40.55 on 2025-05-30, a modest addition to his existing 2,209,397-share position. The purchase occurs at a significant discount to the 52-week high of $106.47, with the stock currently trading at $40.26. However, Robotti's prior trades at TDW have not demonstrated favorable timing: his 5 previous transactions at this ticker all resulted in negative 90-day returns, with 0 of 3 measurable prior buys showing positive 90-day outcomes. More recently, his March 2025 purchases have already declined 11.9% and 15.1% in 30 days, suggesting continued headwinds. The fundamental backdrop shows positive signals—revenue growth of 33.2% and a P/E of 11.31—but the director's historical execution at this specific ticker and his most recent trading results offer limited reassurance about this purchase's timing.

Significance 5/10

Director Robert Robotti buys 25,000 TDW shares at $40.11 amid -62.9% decline from 52-week high

Robotti, a director, purchased 25,000 shares at $40.11 on 2025-03-13, increasing his stake from 2,183,670 to 2,208,670 shares. The purchase occurs after the stock has fallen 62.9% from its 52-week high of $108.83 and declined 24.3% over the preceding 30 days. At his same-ticker level, Robotti's prior TDW buys show a mixed record: two of his recent December purchases (on 2024-12-13, bought at separate transactions) showed strong 30-day returns of +16.6% and +16.3%, but both subsequently fell 16.1% and 16.3% over 90 days—neither were well-timed at the 90-day mark. The company reports solid fundamentals (P/E of 7.85, annual revenue growth of +33.2%, net income of $46.4M on $340.4M quarterly revenue), but the stock's sharp recent decline and Robotti's prior inability to time TDW entries successfully are relevant context.

Significance 6/10

Director Robert Robotti buys 1,770 shares of TDW at $40.95 amid 62.3% decline from 52-week high

Director Robert Robotti purchased 1,770 shares of Tidewater Inc at $40.95 on 2025-03-05, adding 0.1% to his 2.18M share holdings. The purchase occurred at a significant discount to recent valuations—the stock is -62.3% from its 52-week high of $108.83 and has fallen -25.4% over the prior 30 days. Notably, Robotti executed four consecutive buy transactions at TDW in mid-December 2024, each of which showed strong positive 30-day returns (+14.7%, +19.0%, +16.3%, +16.6%), suggesting he has a track record of well-timed entry points at this specific ticker. His cross-ticker buy history also demonstrates disciplined execution: 7 prior open-market buys averaged +9.5% 30-day and +27.1% 90-day returns with a 100% win rate. The company's fundamentals remain solid—annual revenue growth of +33.2% year-over-year, net income of $46.4M, and a low P/E of 7.96—providing context for why an experienced insider might view the current depressed price as a buying opportunity.

Significance 6/10

Director Robert Robotti buys 2,067 shares of TDW at $48.26; stock -54.6% from 52-week high; 3 buys in 4 days.

Director Robert Robotti purchased 2,067 shares at $48.26 on 2024-12-17, following two additional buys on 2024-12-16 and 2024-12-13, representing three transactions in four days. The stock is currently trading -54.6% from its 52-week high of $108.83 and down 34.5% over the past 90 days, though fundamentals appear healthy with annual revenue growth of +55.9%, a P/E of 14.24, and net income of $46.4M. His cross-ticker track record shows 7 prior buys with a 100% 90-day win rate and average 90d return of +27.3%, though his same-ticker history at TDW is limited to 2 measurable prior trades (both sales in May 2024) which were well-timed at the 90-day mark, followed by these recent rapid-fire purchases. The timing and concentration of three buys within days, combined with significant price weakness and strong historical buy-side performance, merits attention to whether Robotti sees value in the pullback.

Significance 7/10

Director ROBOTTI ROBERT buys 21,147 shares of TDW for $1,005,872.64 across 3 transactions at blended avg $47.57

Director Robert Robotti executed 3 separate purchases totaling 21,147 shares for $1,005,872.64 on 2024-12-13 and 2024-12-16, increasing his holdings to 2,179,273 shares (+1.0% vs pre-transaction). The purchases occurred at a blended average price of $47.57, while the current price stands at $47.05—a modest -0.2% variance from transaction price. However, the stock is -56.8% from its 52-week high and down -7.2% over 30 days and -36.9% over 90 days. At the same ticker (TDW), Robotti's 5 prior trades were all sells executed in May 2024, each subsequently well-timed at the 90-day mark with negative returns ranging from -8.0% to -16.8%, indicating he has successfully exited before declines at this company. This buy reverses that recent pattern and occurs as the stock trades near multi-month lows amid a broader decline, contrasting sharply with his demonstrated historical skill at timing exits before price weakness.
