Financials returned 3.1% over October 13th, 2026 to November 12th, 2026, against the S&P 500 at -2.9% on XLF and index data, a spread of 5.9%. Screen CL-01 v1 surfaced 7 names carrying $14.97 million of open-market purchases across 29 filings from 25 filers, which matters because the screen reads filings rather than price.
The backdrop
The Department of Labor reported continuing jobless claims at 1697 on November 12th, 2026, against 1717 previously. For financials, the mechanism is direct: continuing claims track how long laid-off workers stay unemployed, and a flat to lower reading keeps consumer and small business credit losses contained, which in turn supports the provisioning assumptions banks, title insurers and specialty lenders carry on their books. That backdrop sits against aggregate sector flow of $-633.9 million and -4,081,333 shares over the window, so the purchases described below ran against the direction of the broader tape in financials rather than with it.

Galaxy Digital Inc. (GLXY)
Two filers at Galaxy Digital Inc. (GLXY) bought $9.93 million across 3 purchases between November 5th, 2026 and November 6th, 2026. Chief Executive Officer Michael Novogratz accounted for the bulk, buying 528,757 shares on November 5th, 2026 at $12.69 for $6.71 million and 231,243 shares the same day at $13.63 for $3.15 million, both filed November 5th, 2026. Director Douglas R Deason added 5,000 shares on November 6th, 2026 at $13.98 for $69,900, filed November 10th, 2026. The executed prices sit in a narrow band, and the buying landed while the sector carried a 5.9% spread over the S&P 500.
NORTHPOINTE BANCSHARES INC (NPB)
Four filers at NORTHPOINTE BANCSHARES INC (NPB) bought $1.82 million across 5 purchases between October 23rd, 2026 and October 28th, 2026. Chairman and CEO Charles Alan Williams bought 50,000 shares on October 26th, 2026 at $15.32 for $766,175 and 50,000 shares on October 23rd, 2026 at $15.42 for $771,215. Director Carrie L Boer took 12,000 shares on October 23rd, 2026 at $15.40 for $184,762, and director Rajeev Kumar Chaudhary bought 3,000 shares on October 28th, 2026 at $15.80 for $47,398. The prices cluster tightly, which is what a deliberate, scheduled set of purchases tends to look like in a sector running 3.1% against a benchmark at -2.9%.
PROSPECT CAPITAL CORP (PSEC)
Two filers at PROSPECT CAPITAL CORP (PSEC) bought $1.75 million in 2 purchases, both dated November 6th, 2026. Chief Executive Officer John F Barry bought 1,222,704 shares at $1.41 for $1.73 million, filed November 10th, 2026, and director Eugene S Stark bought 15,000 shares at $1.34 for $20,100, filed November 9th, 2026. The share count is large because the price is low, and a business development company trading at that level is a direct read on how the market prices credit risk, the same variable the claims data speaks to.
STEWART INFORMATION SERVICES CORP (STC)
Five filers at STEWART INFORMATION SERVICES CORP (STC) bought $460,970 across 6 purchases between October 23rd, 2026 and October 26th, 2026. Chief Executive Officer Frederick H Eppinger bought 3,000 shares on October 26th, 2026 at $44.45 for $133,350. Directors followed on October 23rd, 2026: C Allen Bradley Jr at $47.30 for 2,000 shares and $94,600, William S Corey Jr at $46.82 for 2,000 shares and $93,640, and Thomas G Apel at $48.00 for 1,000 shares and $48,000. Title insurance earnings track housing transaction volume, so the board bought into a rate sensitive revenue line while the sector outpaced the index by 5.9%.
HUNTINGTON BANCSHARES INC /MD/ (HBAN)
Two directors at HUNTINGTON BANCSHARES INC /MD/ (HBAN) bought $453,555 across 3 purchases. Gary Torgow bought 12,700 shares on October 27th, 2026 at $15.73 for $199,835, filed October 29th, 2026. James D Rollins III bought 10,000 shares on October 26th, 2026 at $19.43 for $194,300 and 4,000 shares the same day at $14.86 for $59,420, both filed October 28th, 2026. This is the largest balance sheet on the list, and the purchases are small relative to the company, so the signal is in the fact of board participation rather than in the dollar amount.
Beacon Financial Corp (BBT)
Seven filers at Beacon Financial Corp (BBT) bought $280,472 across 7 purchases between October 26th, 2026 and October 30th, 2026. Director Mary Anne Callahan bought 3,200 shares on October 28th, 2026 at $30.21 for $96,672, and director Eric S Rosengren bought 700 shares the same day at $30.24 for $21,168. Director Nina A Charnley added 350 shares on October 30th, 2026 at $30.57 for $10,700, and director William H Hughes III bought 200 shares on October 29th, 2026 at $30.73 for $6,146. The breadth of filers is the feature here, since the individual tickets are small and the prices sit within a tight range.
OCEANFIRST FINANCIAL CORP (OCFC)
Three filers at OCEANFIRST FINANCIAL CORP (OCFC) bought $277,785 across 3 purchases between October 30th, 2026 and November 3rd, 2026. Director Nicos Katsoulis bought 10,000 shares on October 30th, 2026 at $17.83 for $178,277, and Senior EVP and CFO Patrick Sean Barrett bought 5,000 shares the same day at $17.90 for $89,500. Director Jack M Farris added 542 shares on November 3rd, 2026 at $18.46 for $10,008. A finance chief buying alongside the board is the detail a reader can test against the next quarterly margin disclosure.
What would change the view
- The next continuing jobless claims release: the reading of 1697 on November 12th, 2026 came in under the prior 1717, and a reversal higher would pressure the credit loss assumptions behind the bank and lender purchases listed here.
- Form 4 activity after the most recent filings dated November 6th, 2026 at GLXY and PSEC and November 3rd, 2026 at OCFC: further open-market purchases at higher executed prices, or a shift to sales, would change the read on these clusters.
