Thomas R. Knott buys 85,250 shares of GPGI at $11.67; stock down 50.6% from 52-week high, company posts -$235.0M net loss

Thomas R. Knott purchased 85,250 shares at $11.67 on 2026-06-11, nearly tripling his position from 44,000 to 129,250 shares. The buy occurs after the stock has fallen 50.6% from its 52-week high of $25.93, near the lower end of the year's trading range. However, the purchase follows a pattern of poor timing: Knott's cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of -21.8% across 5 prior buys (0% win rate), and his one prior GPGI purchase on 2026-03-17 declined 25.1% over 90 days. Fundamentally, GPGI reported zero revenue in its latest quarter, posted a net loss of -$235,000,000, and experienced an 85.8% annual revenue decline, indicating severe operational stress. The transaction warrants scrutiny given the severe financial deterioration, depressed valuation relative to 52-week price action, and the insider's historical inability to time market entry points effectively.

Knott bought 44,000 GPGI shares at $17.08; stock down 29.9% from 52-week high, company posted $-174.7M net loss.

Knott Thomas R. purchased 44,000 shares at $17.08 on 2026-03-17, establishing an initial position. The transaction occurs amid material fundamental weakness: GPGI reported $-174.7M net income for its most recent full fiscal year, annual revenue declined 85.8%, and the latest quarterly revenue was $0.00. The stock is currently trading at $17.74, -29.9% from its 52-week high of $25.32, and down 30-day by 28.0%. Notably, 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, indicating a cluster buy pattern. However, this insider's cross-ticker track record shows 4 prior buys with an average 90-day return of -21.0% and a 90-day win rate of 0.00%, suggesting a history of unfavorable post-purchase price performance.

Director Thomas R. Knott bought 233,070 shares of CMPO at $16.57; 3rd consecutive buy in 3 days, cluster pattern with 2 other insiders.

Thomas R. Knott, a CMPO director, purchased 233,070 shares (233.1K shares) at $16.57 on 2025-02-20, bringing his total holdings to 879,963 shares (880.0K shares), a +36.0% increase from pre-transaction holdings of 646,893 shares (646.9K shares). This transaction is the third consecutive buy by Knott within 3 days (following purchases on 2025-02-12, 2025-02-13, and 2025-02-14), and it occurred as part of a broader cluster pattern in which 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days. The transaction price of $16.57 sits 3.4% below the 52-week high of $17.20 and represents significant capital commitment of $3,861,969.90 ($3.9M). The fundamental backdrop shows the company posted $107,135,000.00 ($107.1M) in latest quarterly revenue with a net loss of $-42,060,000.00 ($-42.1M), yet annual revenue growth stands at +3.2% and the stock has gained +4.7% over the past 30 days. The rapid succession of insider purchases across multiple directors within a compressed timeframe warrants investor attention to understand the motivation behind the synchronized accumulation.

Director Knott Thomas R. purchases 646,893 shares at blended average $15.44 across 3 transactions (Feb 12-14) in $10.0M commitment at CMPO; cluster pattern observed

Director Knott Thomas R. executed 3 separate purchases totaling 646,893 shares for $9,986,149.96 between February 12–14, 2025, at prices ranging from $15.01 to $15.83, establishing a new position from zero prior holdings. This $10.0M outlay occurs as the stock trades near its 52-week high ($16.55) and reflects a deliberate multi-day accumulation pattern. The company is currently unprofitable (net income $-42.1M in the latest quarter) despite positive recent momentum (+7.2% over 30 days, +13.2% over 90 days), creating a material tension between near-term price strength and underlying earnings weakness. The filing also documents 2 other insider purchases within the past 14 days, establishing a cluster buy pattern that concentrates buying activity during a narrow window.
