| Bargain Hunters Take Note: Insider Cluster-Buying At OCFCBy Dividend Channel Staff, Friday, April 28, 10:54 AM ET
A particularly strong insider buying signal is what we call a "cluster-buy" where three or more different insiders make open market purchases within a short period of one another. At OceanFirst Financial Corp (NASDAQ:OCFC), 3 different insiders purchased 8,473 shares at an average price of $15.48/share, for a total of $131,131, with the most recent purchase on April 27, 2023. Presumably the only reason an insider would take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock of their company in the open market, is that they expect to make money. So when multiple insiders all decide to make purchases around the same time, it could be a strong indication that the stock is undervalued. Below is a table summarizing the insider buys that make up this "cluster":
The chart below shows the one year performance of OCFC shares, versus its 200 day moving average. Note that OCFC's low point in its 52 week range is $15.03 per share, with $24.93 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $16.14, with shares currently trading up about 4.3% on the day.
The current annualized dividend paid by OceanFirst Financial Corp is $0.8/share, currently paid in quarterly installments, and its most recent dividend has an upcoming ex-date of 05/05/2023. Below is a long-term dividend history chart for OCFC, which can be of good help in judging whether the most recent dividend with approx. 5.2% annualized yield is likely to continue.
