Primis Financial Corp.: what insiders have been doing
Primis Financial Corp. belongs to the Finance & Banking sector. Filings by its managers are published through SEC (Form 4). 14 insiders have disclosed 32 filings since 18 October 2025.
No insider sold shares on the market over the period. Instead, the filings list 19 purchases totalling €258k, made by 9 insiders. The totals do not cover 2 filings with an undisclosed amount. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. The largest single trade was a purchase of €30k by Switzer Matthew Alan, published on 4 February 2026. Those buying include 8 senior executives and 1 finance chief.
In the case of 12 purchases, another manager of the company was buying within the same 30 days. Such overlaps are known as a cluster signal: distinct people reaching the same decision at about the same time. The most recent open-market purchase was published on 10 September 2026, 38 days ago. Filings reach the SEC (Form 4) feed a median of 2 days after the trade. US insiders must file a Form 4 within two business days of a trade.
Across the 5,458 companies tracked on its exchange, the median is 22 filings; at 32 filings, this issuer sits above that mark. Since 2016, the database holds 114 purchases and 5 sales by insiders of the company. For the fiscal year to 31 December 2025, the annual 10-K puts net income at 61.4 m USD, and the dividend at 0.40 USD per share.

About Primis Financial Corp.
Primis Financial Corp. is a U.S.-listed bank holding company traded on the NASDAQ under the ticker FRST. The company is headquartered in McLean, Virginia, and its principal banking subsidiary, Primis Bank, is a Virginia state-chartered bank headquartered in Glen Allen, Virginia. Primis Bank commenced operations on April 14, 2005, and has evolved into a regional banking franchise focused on community banking, commercial banking, and select specialty-finance niches. ([investors.primisbank.com](https://investors.primisbank.com/overview/default.aspx))
From an operating standpoint, Primis competes in the highly fragmented U.S. regional banking market, where scale, underwriting discipline, deposit franchise quality, and product specialization matter. The bank serves individuals and small-to-medium-sized businesses through a mix of full-service branches and digital channels, offering deposit products, commercial and real estate lending, and online/mobile banking services. As of March 31, 2025, Primis reported 24 full-service branches across Virginia and Maryland, underscoring a geographically concentrated footprint in the Mid-Atlantic rather than a nationwide branch network.

Primis’ competitive positioning appears to rest on two pillars: a traditional community-banking platform and a set of higher-return specialty businesses that can enhance earnings power without requiring a proportionate increase in operating expense. Management has repeatedly highlighted a strategic refocus during 2024 and 2025 on the company’s core bank and lines of business that generate stronger operating results. Within that framework, mortgage warehouse lending and other targeted lending platforms have been presented as important contributors to growth and profitability. ([investors.primisbank.com](https://investors.primisbank.com/investors/news/news-details/2026/Primis-Financial-Corp--Reports-Earnings-per-Share-for-the-Fourth-Quarter-of-2025))
Recent news has been constructive. In May 2025, Primis announced the deconsolidation of Panacea Financial Holdings, and in June 2025 it disclosed a signed non-binding term sheet to sell part of its investment in Panacea. Management framed the transaction as value-accretive and potentially supportive of share repurchases and broader growth initiatives. In January 2026, Primis reported materially improved full-year 2025 results, returning to net income, and declared a quarterly dividend of $0.10 per share. In April 2026, the company reported another solid quarter, with improved profitability metrics, stronger net interest income, and continued dividend payments, suggesting that the turnaround in core earnings remains on track.
