Rippy John T

Rippy John T, EVP and Chief Risk Officer, has demonstrated a mixed but largely buy-weighted trading pattern in Republic Bancorp (RBCAA) shares over the past year and a half, according to SEC filings. Between January 2024 and June 2025, his transactions totaled $1.66 million in purchases against $1.49 million in sales, with the bulk of activity concentrated in early 2025. Notably, he executed multiple acquisitions in April 2025, including a $257,117 open-market purchase on April 25 and a $289,215 acquisition the same day, alongside smaller periodic buys. These were partially offset by sales, such as a $203,381 disposition on January 30, 2025. More recently, filings show two smaller acquisitions of $9,999 each on June 30, 2025, but no significant sales in recent months. The trading history suggests a recurring engagement with RBCAA shares, often involving six-figure transactions, particularly in Q1 and Q2 2025. While Rippy has periodically reduced positions—such as the January 2025 sale—the overall trend leans toward accumulation, with purchases frequently exceeding sales in both frequency and value. The absence of any large disposals after April 2025, coupled with continued smaller buys, indicates a sustained, though not aggressively increasing, stake in the company. The filings reflect disciplined trading activity without extreme concentration in any single direction, maintaining a balance between open-market purchases and occasional divestments.
