Why are they buying?

AI · discretionary · catalyst credible · documented

Directors likely capitalized on a stock price pullback following the company's third-quarter earnings release and downward revision of fiscal 2026 guidance in early August, alongside the announced retirement of longtime CEO Joseph C. Bartolacci and subsequent appointment of new CEO Michael J. Whitehead.

The company reported lower volumes, energy storage solution delays, and lowered its adjusted EBITDA outlook to $158 million to $162 million for fiscal 2026, which weighed on shares and created an open-market buying opportunity for directors.
