Edgar R. Smith III

Edgar R. Smith III is a declared insider of First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. (board member), with filings sourced from SEC (Form 4). Between 3 August 2007 and 30 September 2026, the trades on record add up to 112 filings.

On the open market, the record shows 99 purchases worth €25.7M and 1 sale worth €98k. Purchases outweigh sales by €25.6M. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. The rest of the record consists of 4 share grants. So far in 2026, the count stands at 3 purchases and no sales.

Half of the purchases are above €20k and half below. 59 out of 90 purchases came within 30 days of a purchase by at least one other insider of the same company. When several insiders buy within a few weeks of each other, analysts speak of a cluster purchase. After 16 purchases with a full 90-day history, the hit rate stands at 56% and the median 90-day move at +1.1%. Past outcomes like these are no guarantee of what comes next.

The record was last updated on 2 October 2026 with an open-market purchase (€725k) in First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. The median gap between a trade and its publication by SEC (Form 4) is 5 days. US insiders must file a Form 4 within two business days of a trade. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by SEC (Form 4).
