Central Bancompany's chief executive, Ross John Thomas, disclosed a personal purchase of company stock in a Form 4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. On February 6, 2026, Thomas acquired 40,000 shares of Class A Common Stock at a weighted average price of $24.497 per share. The full transaction amounted to $979,880, with purchase prices ranging between $24.28 and $24.50.
Following the purchase, Thomas's direct holdings in Central Bancompany stand at 82,000 shares. In addition to those shares, he holds an indirect position of 401,450 shares through Central Trust Company for the joint benefit of himself and his spouse, as reported in the filing.
These insider transactions come against the backdrop of the bank's fourth-quarter 2025 financial report. Central Bancompany reported earnings per share of $0.44 for the quarter, which was below the $0.46 consensus estimate. Revenue for the period, however, came in at $272.23 million, surpassing the $269.2 million analysts had expected.
The juxtaposition of a revenue beat and an EPS miss frames recent investor and analyst attention. Revenue strength may indicate operational resilience, while the earnings shortfall has prompted observers to flag the need for further examination. Market participants and analysts are likely to monitor the company closely in subsequent quarters to see how management addresses the discrepancy between top-line performance and bottom-line results.
