Rhea-AI Filing Summary

ConnectOne Bancorp (CNOB) Form 4: On 08/01/2025 director Stephen T. Boswell acquired a total of 7,700 common shares in two open-market purchases: 1,500 shares bought directly at $22.25 and 6,200 shares bought indirectly via an irrevocable family trust at $22.235. The transactions cost roughly $172k.

Post-purchase, Boswell’s holdings rise to 77,674.455 shares held directly and 280,466.733 shares held indirectly. No shares were sold and no derivative activity was reported.

Insider buying—especially by a board member—can signal confidence in future performance and strengthens alignment with shareholders, although the amount represents a modest addition relative to his existing stake.

ConnectOne Bancorp (CNOB) Form 4: 2025년 8월 1일, 이사 Stephen T. Boswell는 두 차례의 공개 시장 매수를 통해 총 7,700주 보통주를 취득했습니다: 직접 1,500주를 주당 22.25달러에, 그리고 되돌릴 수 없는 가족 신탁을 통해 간접적으로 6,200주를 주당 22.235달러에 매입했습니다. 거래 비용은 약 17만 2천 달러였습니다.

구매 후, Boswell의 보유 주식은 직접 보유 77,674.455주간접 보유 280,466.733주로 증가했습니다. 주식 매도나 파생상품 활동은 보고되지 않았습니다.

특히 이사회 멤버인 내부자의 매수는 미래 실적에 대한 신뢰를 나타내며 주주와의 이해관계 일치를 강화하지만, 이번 매수 규모는 기존 지분에 비해 소폭 증가에 불과합니다.

Insights

TL;DR: Director adds $172k in stock, signaling incremental confidence.

The direct and trust purchases increase Boswell’s exposure by about 3% of his previously reported direct/indirect holdings. Open-market buys—rather than option exercises—suggest perceived undervaluation around the $22 level, roughly where CNOB traded recently. While the dollar size is not large versus the bank’s $870 m market cap, recurring insider accumulation supports a bullish sentiment and may provide a marginal upward catalyst for valuation multiples.

TL;DR: Transaction aligns board and shareholder interests; no red flags.

Boswell, a long-standing director, opted for transparent open-market purchases and properly disclosed indirect trust ownership. The absence of sales and lack of 10b5-1 plan box checked imply discretionary buying. Such activity typically enhances governance perception, though investors should monitor for pattern consistency to confirm commitment.
