Stilwell Joseph has filed 172 Form 4 transactions across four companies, with a clear split between buying and selling. His open-market purchases total $2.84 million, while his open-market sales total $27.04 million. That is a roughly 10-to-1 ratio in favor of selling, and it holds in the recent window: 15 buys against 6 sells.
The buying is concentrated in PFBX, the ticker for Peapack-Gladstone Financial. Between April 24 and July 31, 2026, Joseph made 15 open-market purchases in PFBX, ranging from $4,300 on July 13 to $844,701.74 on July 31. The July 31 filing alone shows two purchases totaling $949,093.58. Smaller buys in May and June, from $10,627.45 to $47,005, show a steady accumulation pattern rather than a one-off position.
The selling is spread across two tickers. On August 13, 2026, Joseph sold three blocks of KWY stock worth $408,500, $261,680, and $329,820, for a combined $999,000. In late June, he sold WHLR shares in two transactions on June 26 worth $120,084.76 and $95,972.74, plus a $39,708 sale on June 30. The WHLR filings also include four code "J" transactions valued at zero, which are derivative conversions and carry no cash.
The overall picture is a seller who is also a persistent buyer of one bank stock. The PFBX purchases are all code "P", the only designation that signals a discretionary open-market buy. The KWY and WHLR sales are code "S", discretionary open-market sells. Joseph has not reported any option exercises, grants, or tax-withholding events in the recent data, so the activity is direct cash movement in both directions.
