3 insiders bought €80k of shares over the last 90 days, the latest by Elaine Johnson Martin, filed 16 Sept 2026.
RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc.: what insiders have been doing
RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc., founded in 1983, is a Retail company based in Houston, United States. Its directors and officers file their transactions with SEC (Form 4). In the past year (22 October 2025 to 22 October 2026), 3 filings came from 3 insiders.
Every open-market trade in the period is a purchase: 3 purchases worth €80k, from 3 insiders, and not a single sale. Buying on the open market means paying the going price with one's own funds, a different act from receiving shares as pay. Langan Eric Scott filed the largest purchase, €44k, on 17 August 2026, which represents 0.023% of the company's market value. On the buying side, the filings list 3 senior executives among the declarants.
Compared with its exchange (5,462 companies, median 28 filings), a count of 3 filings is below the norm. Looking back to 2016, when coverage begins, insiders filed 89 purchases and 6 sales. In its latest annual report filed with the SEC (10-K, fiscal year ended 30 September 2025), the company reported revenue of 279.4 m USD and net income of 10.8 m USD, with a dividend of 0.28 USD per share.
Within a 30-day window, 1 purchase overlapped with buying by a second insider. A cluster is several different insiders buying the same stock within a short window, a pattern studied more closely than a single purchase. The latest purchase dates back some time: it was published 38 days ago, on 16 September 2026. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 1 day. The legal deadline for a Form 4 is two business days after the transaction.
In the same sector, recent insider purchases at GameStop Corp. and Neighborhood Intelligence, Inc. also feature in our signals. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by SEC (Form 4). They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.

About RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc.
RCI Hospitality Holdings, Inc. is a U.S.-listed company trading on NASDAQ under the ticker RICK, and its operations are based in the United States. The company was incorporated in Texas in 1994 and is headquartered in Houston, Texas. Its roots go back to the Rick’s Cabaret brand, founded in 1983, before the business evolved into a broader hospitality and entertainment platform. For international investors, RCI sits in a niche intersection of leisure, themed dining, and adult entertainment, making it a distinctive consumer-services story rather than a conventional restaurant or hotel operator.
RCI operates through two core reportable segments: Nightclubs and Bombshells. The Nightclubs segment includes upscale adult entertainment venues operated under a portfolio of brands such as Rick’s Cabaret, Club Onyx, Vivid Cabaret, Tootsie’s Cabaret, Jaguars, XTC, and other regional concepts. The Bombshells segment comprises a sports bar and restaurant chain with a more mainstream, family-adjacent positioning. This dual structure is strategically important because it broadens the customer base and reduces reliance on a single end market. In addition, the company reports “Other” businesses that include a media and communications division serving the adult nightclub industry, as well as related digital and ancillary activities.

From a competitive standpoint, RCI has built a meaningful position in its niche through brand recognition, a geographically diversified footprint, and an acquisition-led growth model. The company’s competitive edge lies in operating multiple branded venues, leveraging local market density, and, in many cases, controlling real estate or long-duration operating assets that support cash generation. Its footprint spans multiple U.S. states, with notable concentration in Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois, Arizona, and other metropolitan markets. That scale gives RCI a degree of local market presence that smaller independent operators typically cannot match.
Recent developments matter for investors. In 2026, the company disclosed a cybersecurity incident affecting a subsidiary, with potential exposure of certain personal information belonging to independent contractors. RCI also faced Nasdaq noncompliance notices related to delayed SEC filings, underscoring the importance of reporting discipline and governance execution. At the same time, the company continued to publish operating updates on quarterly sales at its nightclubs and restaurants, indicating that core operations remained active. For equity investors reviewing insider Form 4 transactions, the stock should be viewed against a backdrop of operational volatility, regulatory scrutiny, and event risk, but also against a long-standing brand portfolio and a durable presence in the U.S. hospitality and adult-entertainment market.
