Hedges Nancy L

Hedges Nancy L, Principal Accounting Officer, has demonstrated a clear accumulation bias in shares of Astronics Corporation (ATRO), with $749,260 in total buy value outweighing $287,974 in sales across 26 transactions. The activity is concentrated entirely in ATRO, with no trades in other companies. A significant portion of the buying occurred on March 3, 2026, when Hedges acquired $410,817 worth of shares via market purchase (Code M) alongside a $148,138 open market buy (Code F). Earlier purchases include a $137,005 market buy on March 18, 2025, and a $69,000 open market acquisition the same day. Smaller but repeated purchases in November 2025—including four market buys totaling $72,628 and two open market transactions worth $106,855—reinforce the consistent accumulation pattern. Sales activity is sporadic and comparatively modest. The largest disposal was a $55,540 open market sale on November 17, 2025, followed by a $51,316 sale the same day. Earlier, a $31,979 open market sale occurred on March 8, 2024. Notably, recent filings show no transactions since March 2026, marking a pause in activity after the sizable March purchases. The transaction codes (A for grant/award, J for other) indicate some activity tied to equity compensation, but the bulk of the movement reflects discretionary market purchases. The data suggests a multi-year trend of net accumulation, with open market buys frequently exceeding sales in both frequency and dollar volume.
