Director William Kistner buys 65 BY shares at $27.56; held 14,089 post-transaction; P/E 10.55.

Director William Kistner purchased 65 shares of Byline Bancorp at $27.56 on 2025-10-28, increasing his holdings from 14,024 to 14,089 shares. The transaction is modest in absolute size ($1,791.24) and represents a 0.5% increase in his position. In his same-ticker history at BY, Kistner's prior four measurable buys show mixed outcomes: two generated positive 90-day returns (+14.6%, +14.4%), while two yielded negative 90-day returns (-7.4%, -2.4%), suggesting his decision-making at this ticker has been inconsistent. The stock currently trades at $27.32, down 3.6% over 30 days and -14.8% from its 52-week high of $32.06, placing the purchase slightly below recent momentum but amid a broader decline. With a P/E of 10.55 and market cap of $1,253,029,778.32, Byline remains a relatively inexpensive regional bank, though the timing pattern at this ticker offers no clear directional signal.

Significance 4/10

Director Kistner buys 60 BY shares at $25.70; modest $1.5K purchase extends 5-buy pattern at 50% same-ticker win rate.

Director William G Kistner purchased 60 shares of Byline Bancorp at $25.70 on 2025-08-08, a small open-market acquisition valued at $1,542.30 that raised his holdings to 14,024 shares. His prior trades at this ticker show a mixed record: 2 of 4 prior buys delivered positive 90-day returns (+10.5% and +12.6%, +15.4%), while the other 2 resulted in declines (-10.0%, -4.4%, -6.4%). His cross-ticker track record shows slightly better success (57.14% 90-day win rate with avg 90d return +4.0%), but same-ticker timing at Byline Bancorp has been inconsistent. The stock is currently down 6.9% over 30 days and 18.8% from its 52-week high of $32.06, trading at $26.02; the valuation remains reasonable with a P/E of 10.05 and market cap of $1.2B.

Significance 6/10

Director Kistner buys 164 BY shares at $25.28; 5 insiders cluster-bought in 14 days; prior BY buys mixed (3 of 5 well-timed 90d).

Director William G Kistner purchased 164 shares of Byline Bancorp at $25.28, adding to a 13.8K share position with total value of $4,146.74. This transaction occurs within a cluster pattern: 5 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated or coincidental accumulation. At the same ticker, Kistner's prior trade record shows mixed execution: 3 of 5 prior buys at BY were well-timed at the 90-day mark (including a +15.4% gain following a June 2024 purchase), but 2 were underwater at 90 days. The current price of $25.21 sits -21.4% below the 52-week high of $32.06, and the stock has declined -6.8% over 30 days and -5.1% over 90 days. With a P/E of 9.81 and market cap of $1,163,499,155.27, the fundamentals show modest valuation, but the recent downward price momentum and mixed historical outcomes at this ticker merit monitoring of whether the cluster-buy signal proves prescient or merely reflects a local bottom.

Significance 4/10

Director Kistner buys 65 shares of BY at $27.76; stock down 14.9% from 52-week high, prior BY buys 4 of 5 well-timed at 90d mark.

Director William G Kistner purchased 65 shares of Byline Bancorp at $27.76 on 2025-03-04, adding to holdings of 13.8K shares. The transaction is modest in scale ($1.8K total value) but occurs as the stock trades at $27.27, down 14.9% from its 52-week high of $32.06 and down 7.0% over 30 days. Kistner's track record at this ticker shows a strong timing pattern: 4 of his 5 prior BY buys delivered positive 90-day returns, with three exceeding +6.6%. His most recent BY purchase on 2024-11-20 did not follow this pattern (30d -4.4%, 90d -2.4%), breaking a longer streak of well-timed entries. At the fundamentals level, Byline Bancorp trades at a P/E of 9.18 with $30.3M in net income and a $1.2B market cap, reflecting a low valuation multiple. The accumulation is consistent with Kistner's prior approach to this stock, though the timing signal is mixed: recent price weakness and his demonstrated ability to enter near local lows at this ticker are offset by the latest entry already underwater on a 30-day basis.

Significance 5/10

Director William G. Kistner bought 50 shares of BY at $30.56; post-transaction holdings 13,735 shares. Stock +17.8% (30d), +12.9% (90d).

Director William G. Kistner purchased 50 shares of BYLINE BANCORP at $30.56, a modest $1,527.95 transaction that increased his holdings to 13,735 shares. The stock has appreciated 17.8% over the past 30 days and 12.9% over 90 days, trading at $31.33, near its 52-week high of $32.06. His prior trading activity at BY shows mixed timing outcomes: 3 of 4 measurable 90-day periods posted positive returns, but 2 of 5 prior trades at this ticker yielded 30-day losses. The current purchase occurs in an uptrend, and his cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day win rate of 75.00%, though the same-ticker pattern is less consistent. The modest size and continued accumulation suggest incremental positioning rather than a high-conviction signal.

Significance 5/10

Director KISTNER WILLIAM G buys 60 shares of BY at $27.91; stock down 5.2% from 52-week high.

KISTNER WILLIAM G, a director at Byline Bancorp, purchased 60 shares at $27.91 on 2024-08-26, increasing his holdings to 13,685 shares. The timing of this purchase occurred as BY trades at $27.60, down 5.2% from its 52-week high of $29.12, with a modest 90-day gain of 20.9%. Examining his same-ticker history at BY shows a mixed pattern: his prior 4 purchases at this company yielded 2 well-timed outcomes at the 90-day mark (the June 2024 buy with 12.6% 30d return, and the November 2023 buy with 16.3% 30d return and 3.7% 90d return) versus 2 poorly-timed outcomes. The company trades at a P/E of 10.38 with $29.7M net income and a market cap of $1.2B, suggesting modest valuation metrics. However, the small transaction size ($1.7K, +0.4% of holdings) and recent 30-day price decline of -2.4% suggest this was a routine, incremental addition rather than a material conviction signal.

Significance 4/10

Director KISTNER WILLIAM G purchased 50 shares of BY at $22.47 on 2024-06-14, boosting holdings to 13,625 shares.

KISTNER WILLIAM G purchased 50 shares at $22.47 on 2024-06-14, a modest transaction worth $1,123.50 that increased his stake by +0.4% to 13,625 shares. At his prior three trades at this ticker, two of three buys delivered positive 90-day returns (+6.6% and +3.7%), suggesting some pattern of favorable timing on prior acquisitions. However, the current purchase comes at $22.47 while the stock now trades at $22.92, and it has declined 5.5% from its 52-week high of $24.25. The stock trades at a P/E of 8.85 with a market cap of $1,011,324,922.08. The modular size of this buy and the narrow margin change relative to total holdings suggest routine incremental accumulation rather than a material conviction-driven signal.
