Director Whalen buys 2,000 HLIT shares at $8.99; stock now -38.9% from 52-week high after -10.5% decline post-prior Feb purchase

Whalen Daniel T (Director) purchased 2,000 shares at $8.99 on 2025-05-30, increasing his holdings by 20.3% to 11,840 shares. The current price of $9.05 is -38.9% from the 52-week high of $14.82, reflecting significant downside movement. His prior trade timing at HLIT shows a consistent pattern of underperformance: his three prior buys at this ticker each posted negative 90-day returns (ranging from -10.5% to -12.3%), with a 0.00% win rate at the 90-day mark. This fresh purchase occurs as the stock trades near its 52-week low, and his cross-ticker buy track record shows an identical 0.00% 90-day win rate with an average 90-day return of -11.4%, raising questions about whether this accumulation reflects conviction or follows a pattern of purchasing decisions that have not generated positive forward returns.
