Angelo G. Fusaro, who serves as Principal Accounting Officer at Bankwell Financial Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:BWFG), recorded an insider sale and a concurrent grant in a Form 4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The filing shows Fusaro sold 316 shares of common stock on February 9, 2026, at $49.88 per share, producing gross proceeds of $15,762.
In the same SEC disclosure, Fusaro reported acquiring 414 shares of Bankwell common stock. Those shares were issued under the 2022 Bankwell Financial Group, Inc. Stock Plan at a grant price of $0, and the filing lists the total value of those shares as $0.
Separately, Bankwell released its financial results for the fourth quarter of 2025, reporting an earnings per share (EPS) of $1.36, ahead of the $1.19 analysts were expecting. The company also posted revenue of $30.32 million, topping the consensus projection of $28.06 million. The EPS result represents a 14.29% surprise relative to expectations, underscoring that the quarter outpaced forecasts on both earnings and top-line metrics.
Despite the stronger-than-expected operating results, Bankwell's shares experienced a decline in pre-market trading following the earnings release. The reporting noted that various analyst firms have taken note of the results, but the public record did not include any specific analyst upgrades or downgrades tied to the announcement.
The Form 4 details and the company’s published quarterly figures form the basis of the public record described in the filing. The disclosure links an insider transaction and equity compensation grant to a quarter in which the company reported better-than-expected earnings and revenue, while market response in pre-market trading was muted-to-negative and the filing did not indicate any formal changes in analyst recommendations.
Where the filing or the public releases are silent, there is no additional information on the motivations behind the insider sale or the intended use of the granted shares. The Form 4 and the company’s quarterly disclosure together provide the factual account of the transaction, the grant and the reported quarterly performance.
