1 insider bought €36k of shares over the last 90 days, the latest filed 26 Aug 2026.
First Community Corp, classified in the Finance & Banking sector, is a listed company. Its insiders report their share dealings to SEC (Form 4). The last twelve months, up to 18 October 2026, brought 50 filings signed by 18 insiders.
On the market, 2 insiders bought (2 purchases totalling €49k) while 2 insiders sold (6 sales totalling €997k). On balance, insiders were net sellers of €948k. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. The buyers include 2 senior executives. One trade stands out by size: a sale of €435k from Been Jonathan W, disclosed on 4 September 2026, or 0.16% of market capitalisation.
Compared with its exchange (5,808 companies, median 19 filings), a count of 50 filings is above the norm. Over the whole record (from 2021), the tally stands at 10 purchases and 7 sales. For the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, the annual 10-K puts net income at 19.2 m USD, and the dividend at 0.62 USD per share.
The most recent open-market purchase was published on 26 August 2026, 52 days ago. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 2 days. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify.

First Community Corporation /SC/ (ticker: FCCO) is a U.S.-listed regional banking company trading on the Nasdaq Capital Market. For investors, it sits in the small-cap financials universe and offers exposure to a community-bank model rather than a nationwide retail bank. The company is headquartered in Lexington, South Carolina, and serves as the holding company for First Community Bank, a locally oriented franchise built around relationship banking, deposit gathering, and lending to households, professionals, and small to mid-sized businesses. The company was organized on November 2, 1994, in South Carolina, reflecting a multi-decade track record as a regional bank holding company. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000932781/000155278126000126/e26095_fcco-10k.htm?utm_source=openai))
Its core business lines are the standard pillars of a community bank: commercial lending, residential and real estate lending, consumer banking, deposit accounts, treasury-oriented services, and other banking solutions designed for local clients. First Community’s competitive advantage is not scale, but proximity. It emphasizes local decision-making, long-standing customer relationships, and a franchise that understands the credit needs of its home markets. That positioning is important in a sector where franchise quality often depends on underwriting discipline, deposit stability, and the ability to retain customers in a concentrated geographic footprint. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0000932781/000155278126000265/e26215_ex99-1.htm?utm_source=openai))
Geographically, First Community has historically been rooted in the Midlands of South Carolina and has expanded across Aiken, Upstate, and Piedmont South Carolina, as well as Augusta, Georgia. The company has also signaled a meaningful strategic step beyond its traditional base through the announced acquisition of Signature Bank of Georgia, which is intended to extend the franchise into the Atlanta-Sandy Springs-Roswell metropolitan area. That transaction is strategically relevant because it broadens the company’s deposit and lending opportunities while increasing its presence in a larger and more competitive Southeastern banking market.

Recent developments have been constructive. First Community reported first-quarter 2026 net income of $5.498 million and stated that the acquisition of Signature Bank of Georgia closed on January 8, 2026. The company also approved a quarterly cash dividend of $0.16 per common share, marking the 97th consecutive quarter of cash dividends paid to common shareholders. For equity investors, that combination of earnings momentum, dividend continuity, and acquisitive expansion is material, although the stock remains sensitive to the usual regional-bank variables: interest-rate trends, credit quality, funding costs, and post-merger integration execution.

In short, FCCO is best viewed as a U.S. community bank with a Southeastern footprint, listed on Nasdaq in the United States, seeking to grow through disciplined branch-network expansion and selective acquisitions while preserving its local-bank identity.
