Christopher F. Baron, President and CEO at BayCom Corp (BCML), bought 8,250 shares at $30.39 ($251K) on 2026-08-10, disclosed to the SEC on 2026-08-11.
CEO Christopher Baron purchased 8,250 shares for $250,717.50 on August 10, signaling confidence in the regional bank's turnaround. This move follows a recent Q2 earnings miss and comes as the stock trades near its 52-week high.
BCML is up 15.33% over the past year and currently trades 3.98% below its 52-week high of $33.15.
Catalysts include the hiring of PacWest alums on April 13 to drive dealmaking, the options market spike prediction on August 11, and the Q1 earnings beat of +21.95% on April 23.
The stock faces significant risk from the Q2 earnings miss on July 23, where EPS dropped 50% and revenue fell 3.58%. Additionally, the low short interest of 1.34% limits the potential for a short squeeze.
Something here stands out, but not much.
