James D. Klein, who serves as president of CRBT at QCR Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: QCRH), disclosed the sale of 554 shares of the company's common stock on March 12, 2026, according to a Form 4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The shares were sold at $82.50 apiece, producing total proceeds of $45,705.

After the March 12 transaction, Klein's direct ownership of QCR Holdings stands at 738 shares. He also maintains an indirect stake of 5,838 shares through a managed account, as reported in the filing.

At the time of the filing, QCRH was trading at $81.15 per share, which is modestly below the price at which Klein executed his sale. The company carries a market capitalization of $1.36 billion.


Recent corporate results provide additional context to the insider move. For the fourth quarter of 2025, QCR Holdings reported earnings per share of $2.21, outpacing the consensus estimate of $1.99. That outcome represents an 11.06% surprise to the upside relative to analysts' expectations. Revenue for the period came in at $107.1 million versus an anticipated $106.87 million, a slight positive divergence from forecasted sales.

The combination of the insider sale and the company’s quarterly performance was highlighted alongside third-party research commentary. An InvestingPro analysis included in related materials indicated that QCRH appears undervalued at prevailing levels. That same analysis and related investor materials also note that the company has paid dividends for 25 consecutive years, a point used to underscore a long track record of shareholder distributions.


The filings and reported results together create a snapshot of recent activity at QCR Holdings: a small-scale insider disposition by a senior executive, current market pricing modestly below the executed sale price, and quarterly financials that exceeded the narrow expectations for both earnings and revenue. The information provided is limited to the details contained in regulatory disclosures and the cited analysis; no further commentary on intent or future performance appears in the filings.

Investors and market observers will find in the public filings both the concrete ownership figures and the company’s reported financial metrics for Q4 2025. The data points are as reported: the March 12, 2026 sale of 554 shares at $82.50 per share for $45,705 in proceeds, direct ownership of 738 shares by Klein, indirect ownership of 5,838 shares via a managed account, a current trading price of $81.15, a market cap of $1.36 billion, Q4 2025 EPS of $2.21 versus $1.99 expected (an 11.06% surprise), and Q4 2025 revenue of $107.1 million versus $106.87 million expected. An InvestingPro note characterizes QCRH as appearing undervalued and records a 25-year streak of dividend payments.

Risks

  • Market price risk - the stock was trading at $81.15, slightly below the $82.50 sale price executed by the insider, indicating potential near-term price volatility in the equity markets.
  • Concentration and ownership disclosure - changes in insider holdings, such as the reduction in direct holdings by a senior executive, may influence investor perception and trading activity in the company’s shares.
  • Limited forward information - the filings and cited analysis provide historical ownership and quarterly results but do not offer guidance on future performance or dividend continuity beyond the reported 25-year payment record.
