William C Iii Bryant

Director William C Bryant purchases 1,043 shares of BOTJ; stock recovered sharply in recent months and director has consistent history of well-timed purchases in this stock.

Director William C Bryant is adding to his holdings in Bank of the James Financial Group through an open-market purchase as the stock has rallied significantly from its lows over the past three months. His track record in this specific stock is strong—of his five prior purchases, four delivered positive returns within a three-month window, with one modestly negative near-term result. The company itself presents a solid fundamental picture: profitable with growing revenue and a reasonable valuation multiple, suggesting Bryant is buying a financially healthy business rather than speculating on a turnaround. This purchase is particularly noteworthy because it represents a continued conviction pattern—Bryant has been a consistent buyer of BOTJ shares over time, and he's now accumulating again despite the stock trading near its recent highs, which deviates from the typical insider behavior of buying into weakness. The alignment between his prior success timing shares in this exact company and his willingness to keep buying indicates confidence in the business outlook.

Director William C Bryant III executed 2 separate purchases totaling 996 shares for $20,412.00 between 2026-02-12 and 2026-02-19 at an average price of $20.49, increasing his holdings from 75,677 to 76,673 shares. A cluster pattern is present, with 2 other insiders also buying within the past 14 days, signaling coordinated director-level confidence. At BOTJ specifically, Bryant's prior 5 trades show 3 of 4 measurable buys were well-timed at the 90-day mark (positive returns afterward), and his most recent prior purchase on 2025-11-17 returned +23.8% over 90 days, establishing a pattern of disciplined entry. The stock currently trades at $20.90, only 0.4% below its 52-week high of $20.99 and up 15.5% over 30 days and 17.6% over 90 days, while the company carries a conservative P/E of 12.01 and $95.0M market cap.

Director William C Bryant III buys 59 shares of BOTJ at $16.75; part of cluster pattern with 2 other insiders in past 14 days

Director Bryant purchased 59 shares at $16.75 on 2025-11-17, a modest 0.1% addition to holdings of 75.6K shares. The transaction coincides with a cluster pattern: 2 other insiders also bought BOTJ within the past 14 days, which may indicate aligned conviction among the board. However, Bryant's prior trades at BOTJ reveal a mixed record: of 5 prior trades at this ticker, only 1 of 3 measurable 90-day outcomes was well-timed, suggesting limited predictive value in his historical BOTJ timing. The stock has appreciated 7.8% over the past 30 days and 18.1% over 90 days, trading near its 52-week high of $17.20, which narrows the margin of safety at the current entry point.

Director William C Bryant III buys 2,525 shares of BOTJ at $15.43 on 2025-08-25; joins 3 other insiders in 14-day cluster purchase.

Director William C Bryant III purchased 2,525 shares at $15.43, increasing his holdings to 75,618 shares (a +3.5% increase). This transaction is part of a broader insider cluster, with 3 other insiders buying within the same 14-day window—a pattern that may reflect coordinated confidence in the company's valuation or outlook. However, Bryant's prior trades at BOTJ present a mixed picture: of his 5 prior purchases at this ticker, only 1 achieved a positive 90-day return, suggesting his stock selection at this company has not consistently been well-timed. The stock currently trades at $15.27, down 6.0% from its 52-week high of $16.24, though it has gained 10.9% over the past 30 days. At a P/E of 9.73, the company appears modestly valued, but the weak track record on same-ticker purchases warrants careful attention to whether this cluster activity signals genuine opportunity or represents repeated accumulation at suboptimal entry points.

William C Bryant III, Director at Bank of the James Financial Group, executed 2 separate purchases totaling 6,602 shares for $95,645.28 at a blended average price of $14.49 on May 22, 2025. This 9.9% increase in his holdings to 73,093 shares represents a material discretionary accumulation by an insider. His same-ticker history at BOTJ shows mixed outcomes: 1 of 3 prior measurable buys (33%) produced a positive 90-day return, most recently a buy on 2023-11-14 that returned +17.8% over 90 days, but purchases on 2024-02-06 and 2024-02-16 returned -13.2% and -10.9% respectively. The stock is currently trading at $14.37, -11.5% from its 52-week high, and has posted +4.2% and +9.8% returns over the prior 30 and 90 days respectively, placing this purchase in a period of moderate recent gains.

Director BRYANT WILLIAM C III buys 223 BOTJ shares at $14.25 for $3,177.75; holds 66,491 post-transaction.

Director BRYANT WILLIAM C III purchased 223 shares at $14.25 on 2025-05-21, increasing holdings by 0.3% to 66,491 shares—a routine transaction of modest scale relative to his existing position. The insider's cross-ticker track record shows 75.00% win rate on buys over 90 days with an average 10.8% return, but his prior trades at BOTJ specifically tell a different story: 0 of his 2 measurable prior purchases were well-timed, with 90-day returns of −10.9% and −13.2%. BOTJ itself trades at a P/E of 9.91 with positive year-over-year revenue growth of 2.6%, and the stock is down 11.5% from its 52-week high of $16.24; the recent 30-day and 90-day price momentum (up 4.2% and 9.8%) shows near-term recovery. The purchase does not appear to be part of a coordinated insider buying cluster.

BOTJ Director BRYANT buys 394 shares at $14.25; modest addition to 66.3K-share position amid mixed ticker-specific track record.

Director William C Bryant III purchased 394 shares of Bank of the James Financial Group at $14.25 on 2025-05-20, increasing his total holdings from 65,874 to 66,268 shares. At a market cap of $64.7M and current price $14.25 (down 12.2% from the 52-week high of $16.24), this is a small incremental purchase adding 0.6% to his existing position. His prior trades at BOTJ show a mixed pattern: two buys in November 2023 delivered 90-day returns of +16.4% and +17.8%, but two February 2024 purchases resulted in 90-day losses of −10.9% and −13.2%, suggesting timing judgment at this ticker has been inconsistent. Without a public announcement of fundamental changes or scheduled trading plan disclosures, this routine acquisition does not present a clear directional signal for the bank's prospects.
