[Form 4] Bridgewater Bancshares, Inc. Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Principal Financial Group, Inc. (PFG) – Form 4 filing dated 07/01/2025

Director Jonathan Auerbach reported the acquisition of 206 shares of PFG common stock on 06/27/2025. The shares were granted as restricted stock units at a stated price of $0. Following the award, Mr. Auerbach’s direct beneficial ownership increased to 20,009 shares. No derivative securities were involved, and no dispositions occurred.

The transaction was filed by a single reporting person and does not reference a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan. Because the grant represents less than 1% of PFG’s outstanding shares and involves no cash outlay, the event is considered routine executive compensation with minimal impact on the company’s capital structure or public float.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Routine RSU grant of 206 shares to Director; negligible strategic or valuation impact.

This Form 4 reflects standard board compensation. The 206-share award increases the director’s holdings to 20,009, reinforcing alignment with shareholders but constituting an immaterial addition relative to PFG’s ~250 million-share float. No sale signals, no derivatives, and no insider trend shift are evident. I therefore view the filing as informational with neutral investment implications.
