BJs RESTAURANTS Inc: what insiders have been doing
This page follows insider dealings at BJs RESTAURANTS Inc as filed with SEC (Form 4), a company from the Retail sector. 29 insiders have disclosed 114 filings since 18 October 2025.
Purchases and sales both appear in the filings: 5 purchases (1 insider, €156k) and 18 sales (6 insiders, €4.4M). The amount is not disclosed for 9 filings. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. Among those who bought: 1 senior executive. Biggest ticket of the year: €1.5M, sold by Lynds Gregory S and made public on 5 August 2026 (0.13% of market cap).
With 114 filings in twelve months, the company is more active than the median of 19 filings across the 5,816 companies we follow on the same exchange. The full history, which starts in 2016, counts 8 purchases against 35 sales. In its latest annual report filed with the SEC (10-K, fiscal year ended 30 December 2025), the company reported revenue of 1.40 bn USD and net income of 48.8 m USD.
The last purchase on record was published on 3 September 2026, which is 44 days ago. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 3 days. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. Selling is not necessarily a view on the stock: liquidity needs and diversification are common motives.

About BJs RESTAURANTS Inc
BJ’s Restaurants, Inc. is a U.S.-based casual dining restaurant operator listed on the NASDAQ in the United States under the ticker BJRI. The company trades under the BJ’s Restaurant & Brewhouse banner and is built around a hybrid model that combines full-service dining with a craft-beer angle and a broad, family-friendly menu. Founded in 1978, BJ’s developed a brand identity around an approachable brewpub concept, emphasizing variety, value, and a recognizable in-restaurant experience. Its core menu includes deep-dish and thin-crust pizzas, burgers, sandwiches, salads, pastas, appetizers, and the company’s signature Pizookie dessert, alongside beer offerings that support the brewhouse positioning. The company’s headquarters are in Huntington Beach, California, United States.
Operationally, BJ’s owns and operates more than 215 restaurants across 31 states. That footprint gives the chain national reach while still leaving it smaller and less diversified than the largest U.S. restaurant groups. The company has noted that a meaningful share of its locations remains in California, underscoring both its West Coast roots and the room it has to further expand geographically. This balance of mature-market density and ongoing expansion potential is important for investors assessing unit growth, same-store sales leverage, and regional concentration risk.

From a competitive standpoint, BJ’s sits in the highly contested U.S. casual dining segment, where brands compete on traffic, menu differentiation, service consistency, and value perception. BJ’s edge is its differentiated “brewhouse” identity, extensive menu breadth, and a set of signature items that help drive repeat visits and brand recall. In practical terms, the company competes against other full-service restaurant chains that are also fighting for discretionary consumer spend, making execution and marketing efficiency central to performance.
Recent company updates suggest a business that has been improving its operating profile. In February 2026, BJ’s reported fiscal 2025 results, including higher total revenue, positive comparable restaurant sales growth, and improved restaurant-level operating profit margin. Management also issued 2026 financial outlook guidance, indicating continued focus on traffic, menu innovation, and margin expansion. In 2025, the company also expanded its share repurchase authorization, which is relevant for shareholders monitoring capital allocation and insider transaction disclosures on Form 4. For equity investors, BJRI is best viewed as a U.S. consumer discretionary restaurant name on NASDAQ with exposure to restaurant traffic trends, food and labor inflation, and management’s ability to sustain brand differentiation across its national footprint.
