Charles Dirkson R, who serves as President, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Co-Chairman of Loar Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:LOAR), disclosed a series of insider purchases executed via Charles Family Trust 13, according to a Form 4 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The filing shows three acquisition transactions completed over consecutive days in March 2026. On March 10, 2026, the trust bought 3,400 shares at a weighted average price of $67.41, with trade prices ranging from $67.15 to $67.50. The next day, March 11, 2026, the trust acquired 4,166 shares at an average price of $67.49; individual trades that day fell between $67.43 and $67.50. The activity culminated on March 12, 2026, when Charles Family Trust 13 purchased 36,434 shares at an average price of $67.45, with that day's trade prices spanning $67.19 to $67.50.
Combined, the purchases are recorded as acquisitions and totaled $2967830. Following these transactions, the filing indicates that Charles Family Trust 13 holds 4,087,005 shares of Loar Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:LOAR).
The insider buying occurred while Loar's stock was trading near its 52-week low. The filing notes the 52-week low at $62.05, with shares quoted at $63.03 at the time referenced - below the insider's average purchase price of approximately $67.45.
Separately, the company reported quarterly results that underpinned a stronger-than-expected financial performance. For the fourth quarter of 2025, Loar Holdings LLC recorded earnings per share of $0.26, exceeding the analyst forecast of $0.20 by 30%, a positive earnings surprise. The company also showed revenue growth of 23% and a gross profit margin of 53% in its reported financials.
Analyst price targets referenced in the filing range from $83 to $98, reflecting expectations of upside from current levels. Despite the fourth-quarter earnings beat, the stock experienced a pre-market decline on the day of the report; the filing did not provide specific reasons for that intraday move.
The filing did not disclose any concurrent material developments such as mergers, acquisitions, or analyst rating changes tied directly to these insider transactions. Observers and investors may continue to monitor Loar Holdings for future operational or market updates that could affect the company’s share performance.
Context and implications
The transactions detailed in the SEC filing represent an increase in holdings by the Charles Family Trust 13 on behalf of an insider who holds multiple executive titles at Loar. The purchases were executed at prices modestly above the market quote cited in the filing, and they followed a quarter in which the company reported both revenue growth and a notable gross margin.
While the filing provides clear transactional detail and the company’s recent quarterly results, it does not offer commentary on strategic intent behind the purchases or on future corporate actions.
