<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Important</h3>
Emphasizing the importance of a comprehensive approach, considering insider transactions is valuable, but it's crucial to evaluate them in conjunction with other investment factors.
When discussing legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as stipulated in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are required to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
A new purchase by a company insider is a indication that they anticipate the stock will rise.
On the other hand, insider sells may not necessarily indicate a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Important Transaction Codes</h3>
When it comes to transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> tend to focus on those in the open market, detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Engaging In Insider Activity, Paul Stephen Beeber At NAPCO Security Techs Exercises Options

We encourage NAPCO shareholders not to be misled by the recent report issued by Fuzzy Panda, an activist short seller that is seeking to profit by driving down our Company's share price based on unsupported allegations.
There is no new news here. Fuzzy Panda's misleading report references an old class action lawsuit that the Company disclosed months ago. The allegations are centered around incorrect statements from a disgruntled former employee who, based on the admissions made by Plaintiffs in the Class Action complaint, has no knowledge of NAPCO's accounting processes or financial statement preparation.
The short seller previously made similar allegations in a letter received weeks prior to our Form 10-K filing. Our Audit Committee immediately hired a global law firm to conduct an independent investigation into the allegations included in the short seller's letter, many of which were repeated in the report. Following a thorough investigation, the law firm found no evidence to support the short seller's allegations.
NAPCO filed its 10-K on August 29, 2024, reporting record revenues and earnings. We reported $97.7 million of cash on our balance sheet at year end, and the NAPCO Board of Directors increased the Company's quarterly dividend by 25% to $.125 per share. The financial statements for the year ending June 30, 2024 includes an unqualified opinion.
NAPCO hired an experienced financial services professional with audit and financial controls expertise. We have implemented quarterly review and reconciliation of control activities to ensure the completeness and accuracy of forecasted sales and usage data to determine reserve for excess and slow-moving inventory. We have improved control activities related to information technology user access and program change management. Importantly, we have successfully remediated the material weaknesses in our controls that were reported in our Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023. In our recently filed Form 10-K, we also identified a new material weakness related to the procedural review of information used in the inventory costing process; management is in the process of developing a plan to remediate such material weakness, which we expect will be in place by the end of our second fiscal quarter.
The Company believes it is important to set the record straight regarding certain distortions and inaccuracies, among many, in the short seller's report:
●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fuzzy Panda takes issue with the hiring of our new Senior Vice President of Finance and Chief Accounting Officer because he was the engagement partner at our prior auditor. There is no conflict of interest or regulatory violation. Nor was our former audit firm fired because of the restatement of the first three fiscal 2023 quarters financial statements. Rather, our audit committee decided to engage a big four accounting firm as our business and market capitalization continued to grow. Our new Senior VP and CAO brings extensive knowledge of the Company as well as years of experience in public accounting. It is also false to state that he received options worth $1 million, when in reality he received 20,000 options to buy stock at the then current market price which vest over four years in accordance with the Company's existing stock option plan. ●&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Fuzzy Panda's suspicion of our 90% profit margin on recurring revenue is without basis and was subject to scrutiny as part of our recently completed investigation. Our commonly referenced peer, Alarm.com, reports a gross margin of 86% on its recurring revenue. Our recurring revenue is derived mostly from commercial installations as opposed to that of Alarm.com, which is mostly derived from residential installations that typically have lower gross margins. Our business continues to perform well, and we look forward to continuing to drive positive momentum and increased profits. We remain focused on advancing our successful strategy and enhancing shareholder value by capitalizing on the growing investment opportunities across the commercial security, school security, and residential security markets.

Needham Maintains Buy on NAPCO Security Techs, Raises Price Target to $57

Napco (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/nssc#NASDAQ">NSSC</a>) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.36 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.37 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.28 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of -2.70%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this security products and software company would post earnings of $0.34 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.36, delivering a surprise of 5.88%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates three times.
Napco, which belongs to the Zacks Security and Safety Services industry, posted revenues of $50.33 million for the quarter ended June 2024, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 0.30%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $44.66 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates three times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock&#39;s immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management&#39;s commentary on the earnings call.
Napco shares have added about 62% since the beginning of the year versus the S&amp;P 500&#39;s gain of 18.1%.
<h2>What&#39;s Next for Napco?</h2>
While Napco has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors&#39; minds is: what&#39;s next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company&#39;s earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Napco: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company&#39;s just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.36 on $47.87 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.63 on $213.16 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Security and Safety Services is currently in the top 34% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Another stock from the same industry, Lakeland Industries (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/lake#NASDAQ">LAKE</a>), has yet to report results for the quarter ended July 2024. The results are expected to be released on September 4.
This safety garments manufacturer is expected to post quarterly earnings of $0.42 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +31.3%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
Lakeland Industries&#39; revenues are expected to be $41.1 million, up 24.3% from the year-ago quarter.
