76th Percentile Overall Score
FNWD InsiderScore:85 / 99

Finward Bancorp scored higher than 76% of companies evaluated by InsiderBuying, and ranked 44th out of 233 stocks in the financials sector.

Scores are percentile-ranked against every company we scored that day, with extra weight given to the size and conviction of each purchase and the seniority of the buyer.

Dollars Committed

Insiders at Finward Bancorp bought $3.7K of stock across 4 purchases in the last 90 days, the largest of them $1.8K.

Stake Increase

The average purchase added about 0% to the buyer's existing holding. Doubling a stake earns full marks here; topping up an already large position earns very little.

New Positions

Every buyer already held stock, so each purchase is an increase rather than a first position.

This category carries 35% of the Insider Score.
