LPTH CEO Rubin Shmuel bought 180 shares at $9.70; now trading -35.0% from 52-week high, stock down -10.7% (30d) and -11.8% (90d).
Rubin Shmuel, President & CEO, purchased 180 shares of LIGHTPATH TECHNOLOGIES at $9.70 on 2026-03-27, adding to a holding of 260.8K shares—a modest 0.1% increase in his position. The purchase occurs amid significant headwinds: the stock is trading at $9.31, down 35.0% from its 52-week high and down 10.7% over the past month. Notably, Shmuel's prior two purchases at LPTH in February 2025 both proved poorly timed, with cumulative declines of -14.8% and -10.9% in the 30 days following those trades, and neither position recovered favorably over 90 days. The company is also operating at a loss (net income of $-9.4M on quarterly revenue of $16.4M), which compounds the negative momentum backdrop. The small transaction size ($1.7K total value) and the insider's weak historical timing pattern at this ticker suggest limited conviction behind this purchase.
LPTH CEO Rubin Shmuel buys 1,000 shares at $2.45 on 2025-02-25; stock down -43.4% from 52-week high
CEO Rubin Shmuel purchased 1,000 shares at $2.45 on 2025-02-25, adding to existing holdings of 226,722 shares. The transaction is modest in size (less than 0.4% increase in holdings) and occurs while the stock is -43.4% from its 52-week high and -25.7% over the past 30 days. The company is currently unprofitable with net income of $-2.6M against revenue of $7.4M, and has experienced annual revenue decline of -3.7%. A prior buy at this ticker on 2025-02-19 lacks measurable outcome data, and the CEO's cross-ticker track record shows only 1 prior purchase, limiting the ability to assess any pattern in his trading behavior.
LPTH CEO Rubin Shmuel buys 1.0K shares at $2.56; stock down -28.9% in 30 days.
CEO Rubin Shmuel purchased 1,000 shares at $2.56 on 2025-02-19, increasing holdings to 226.7K shares. The transaction is modest in both absolute terms ($2.6K) and relative to his existing position (+0.4%). The company is unprofitable with annual revenue declining -3.7% year-over-year and a most recent quarter net loss of $-2.6M on revenue of $7.4M. The stock has declined -28.9% over the preceding 30 days and is trading -42.4% below its 52-week high of $4.24. The small scale of this purchase relative to Rubin's existing 226.7K-share position, combined with deteriorating fundamentals and recent sharp price declines, does not provide a strong signal either of confidence or concern.
