FRD CEO Taylor Mike J bought 500 shares at $18.00 on 2026-03-09; 5th buy in 3 months amid -13.9% annual revenue decline.

Taylor Mike J purchased 500 shares for $9.0K on 2026-03-09 at $18.00, adding to holdings of 223.2K shares. This is his fifth open-market purchase at FRD in under four months (following buys on 2026-03-03, 2026-02-23, 2026-02-18, and prior trades in late 2025), representing a sustained pattern of share accumulation at this ticker. However, the stock has declined significantly: the current price of $17.44 is -23.2% from the 52-week high and -11.7% over the past 30 days, while FRD is reporting annual revenue contraction of -13.9% and a modest P/E of 7.93. Of his two measurable prior buys at FRD, neither generated positive 90-day returns (outcomes were +9.3% and +6.8% at 30 days but -0.2% and -7.3% at 90 days), indicating limited success with timing reversals at this ticker despite his cross-ticker record showing 58.82% 90-day win rate across 20 prior buys.

FRD CEO Taylor Mike J buys 400 shares at $18.00; stock down 17.8% from 52-week high of $22.70.

Taylor Mike J, the President and CEO of Friedman Industries, purchased 400 shares at $18.00 on March 3, 2026, increasing his holdings from 222,266 to 222,666 shares. The stock currently trades at $18.66, down 17.8% from the 52-week high of $22.70 and down 9.2% over the past 30 days. At the same ticker, Taylor's prior 5 trades include three buys from late 2025 with measured 90-day returns of +9.3%, -0.2%, +6.8%, -7.3%, +11.0%, and -5.4%—yielding a 0% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark. Friedman Industries reports a P/E of 8.48, net income of $3.0M on revenue of $168.0M, but faces annual revenue contraction of 13.9%, which combined with the insider's lack of demonstrated timing success at this ticker and recent price weakness, suggests this transaction merits closer inspection rather than uncritical read-through of conviction-based buying.

FRD CEO Taylor Mike J bought 100 shares at $18.00; stock at $18.61 down -18.0% from 52-week high.

Taylor Mike J purchased 100 shares of Friedman Industries on 2026-02-23 at $18.00, increasing his holdings from 222,166 to 222,266 shares. The purchase occurred near the midpoint of the 52-week range ($13.71–$22.70) and follows a pattern of four additional open-market purchases at this ticker within the preceding three months. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior open-market buys with a 55.56% 90-day win rate and average 90-day return of +3.3%, though his same-ticker history at FRD exhibits mixed timing, with only 1 of 3 prior measurable buys achieving a positive 90-day return. The company faces headwinds: annual revenue declined -13.9% year-over-year, net income sits at $3.0M on $168.0M quarterly revenue, and the stock has declined -6.3% over the past 90 days. The modest $1.8K transaction size relative to his 222.3K-share position suggests a marginal addition rather than a concentrated conviction signal.

FRD CEO Mike J Taylor buys 600 shares at $18.75; 4 of 5 prior FRD purchases showed positive 90d returns

CEO Mike J Taylor purchased 600 shares of Friedman Industries at $18.75 on 2026-02-18, increasing his holdings by 600 shares (net change: purchased 600 shares, +0.3% vs pre-transaction holdings of 221,566 shares). Among his prior same-ticker transactions at FRD, 4 of 5 prior buys recorded measurable outcomes—with positive 90-day returns on three trades (Buy 2025-01-15: 90d +14.1%, Buy 2025-01-14: 90d +8.4%, Buy 2025-11-21: 90d -5.4%)—though the two most recent prior purchases (2025-12-02 and 2025-11-24) are not yet measurable at 90 days. The current stock price of $18.05 sits -20.5% from the 52-week high of $22.70, and the company reports a -13.9% annual revenue decline with a P/E of 8.20. The transaction size ($11,250.00) is modest relative to Taylor's post-transaction holdings (222.2K shares), suggesting a measured addition rather than a concentrated bet.

Taylor Mike J (CEO) bought 500 shares of FRD at $18.74; 5th purchase in 10 days, prior trades show +6.9% to +24.1% 90-day returns.

Taylor Mike J, the company's President/CEO/Director, purchased 500 shares at $18.74, bringing his holdings to 221,566 shares.

His prior trades at FRD show strong measurable outcomes: the three historical buys with 90-day results returned +14.1%, +8.4%, and +6.9%, all positive, with 100% of prior trades at this ticker showing well-timed 90-day outcomes. However, the stock has declined 6.7% over the past 30 days and 9.7% over 90 days from recent highs, and annual revenue has contracted 13.9%, though the company trades at a modest P/E of 12.19.

FRD CEO Mike J Taylor buys 2,000 shares ($38,750.00) in 2 transactions; strong track record at this ticker with 5 of 5 prior buys well-timed at 90-day mark.

Mike J Taylor, FRD's President/CEO/Director, completed 2 separate open-market purchases totaling 2,000 shares for $38,750.00 at blended average price $19.38 on November 21 and 24, 2025, increasing holdings by +0.9% to 221,066 shares. The timing aligns with a notable pattern: his 5 prior trades at FRD were all well-timed at the 90-day mark, with returns ranging from +6.9% to +25.0%, versus his cross-ticker average 90d return of +4.5% (win rate 62.50%). Current price $19.73 is -13.1% from the 52-week high of $22.70, placing this purchase near recent weakness. His track record at this ticker—100% well-timed at 90 days—stands in contrast to stock fundamentals showing annual revenue decline of -13.9% and a modest P/E of 12.25, suggesting the insider views current technicals or intrinsic value favorably relative to recent market action.

CEO Taylor Mike J bought 2,500 shares of FRD at $14.10 on 2025-01-15 (total $35,250), now 169.2K shares held.

The purchase occurs at a price 1.1% above the current market price of $13.95, amid a stock that has declined 11.6% over 30 days and 28.3% from its 52-week high of $19.46. His same-ticker trade history at FRD shows 2 completed 90-day cycles, both positive (returns of +12.0% and +11.0%), suggesting prior transactions were well-timed. However, the company reported a net loss of $675.0K last quarter against $106.8M in revenue, with annual revenue declining 5.7% year-over-year, indicating operational headwinds. The timing of this buy—following two other purchases on 2025-01-14 and 2025-01-13—requires context on whether these transactions reflect discretionary conviction or adherence to a prearranged trading plan.

CEO Taylor Mike J bought 2,500 shares at $14.50 across two dates (Jan 13-14, 2025) for $36,250.00

Taylor Mike J, President/CEO/Director, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 2,500 shares (2.5K shares) for $36,250.00 at a blended average price of $14.50, increasing his holdings to 166,654 shares (166.7K shares) from 164,154 shares (164.2K shares). The current stock price of $14.20 is -27.0% from the 52-week high of $19.46 and down 8.3% over 30 days. His prior trades at FRD show a strong timing pattern, with 3 of 3 measurable prior buys at this ticker returning positive at the 90-day mark (ranging from +8.1% to +22.0%), though his cross-ticker track record is more modest at 50.00% 90-day win rate with +1.4% average 90d return. The company reported declining fundamentals with -5.7% annual revenue growth and a net loss of $-675,000.00 (latest quarter), though current market cap stands at $98.9M. This purchase occurs as the stock trades significantly below its recent range, and the CEO's historical execution at this ticker has previously been rewarded within 90 days.

CEO Taylor Mike J buys 2,000 shares of FRD at $13.50; concurrent cluster buy by 2 other insiders amid -5.7% revenue decline and -$675.0K net loss.

Taylor Mike J, the President/CEO/Director, purchased 2,000 shares at $13.50 on 2024-11-21, increasing his holdings to 164,154 shares. This purchase occurs as part of a broader cluster pattern: 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated or coincident management interest in accumulating equity. However, the company's recent fundamentals show deterioration—annual revenue is down 5.7% and the latest quarter recorded a net loss of $675.0K against $106.8M in revenue. Prior to this purchase, the CEO's same-ticker history at FRD shows five consecutive buys in mid-September 2024 with measurable 30-day returns of +7.6%, +10.0%, +8.1%, +8.1%, and +10.2%, though 90-day outcomes for those trades remain incomplete. The current price of $15.05 is 22.7% below the 52-week high and up only 5.7% over the prior 30 days, limiting the immediate upside signal. While the cluster activity and CEO accumulation merit attention, the negative operating results and modest recent price momentum create mixed signals about management's underlying confidence in near-term recovery.

His cross-ticker track record shows a 0.00% win rate on buys over 90 days (avg 90d return -12.6%), and at FRD specifically, only 1 of 5 prior measurable trades achieved positive 90-day returns. The company's fundamentals show annual revenue decline of -5.7%, a low P/E of 8.15, and quarterly net income of only $2.6M on revenue of $114.6M, leaving limited margin for error in the current macroeconomic environment.
