Core Molding Technologies EVP Buys 141 Shares at $17.5 on 2025-08-18

Core Molding Technologies Inc. (CMT) has announced that EVP, Treasurer, Secretary, CFO Panda Alex Joseph has acquired 141 shares at $17.5 each on August 18, 2025, and 59 shares at $17.98 each on August 19, 2025.

Core Molding Technologies Inc. (CMT), a leading provider of molded plastic components, has seen significant insider activity with the acquisition of additional shares by its Executive Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary, and Chief Financial Officer, Alex Joseph. On August 18, 2025, Joseph purchased 141 shares at a price of $17.5 each, and on August 19, 2025, he bought an additional 59 shares at $17.98 each. This latest acquisition follows a previous purchase of 200 shares on August 13, 2025, at $17.33 per share, as reported in a Form 4 filing submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) [1].

The purchase of these shares by Joseph reflects his confidence in CMT's long-term prospects and commitment to the company's growth and success. This move comes amidst a period of moderate financial performance for CMT, with its revenue and earnings per share (EPS) showing signs of improvement as reported in its 2Q25 results [2]. However, the overall industry cycle remains challenging, particularly in its core truck and powersports segments.

The recent share acquisitions by Joseph may suggest confidence in CMT's ability to navigate through the current market conditions. This move also highlights the ongoing transition in the company's leadership, with the CEO position being taken over by the COO in 2026 [2]. Investors should keep an eye on CMT's quarterly performance and strategic initiatives, such as its investment in plant expansions and new material development, which are aimed at diversifying its end-markets and enhancing operational efficiency [3].

In other recent news, Core Molding Technologies Inc. announced its Q2 2025 earnings, which did not meet analyst expectations. The company reported EPS of $0.53, falling short of the anticipated $0.60, an 11.67% negative surprise. Revenue also missed the mark, coming in at $79.2 million compared to the expected $80.46 million, a 1.57% shortfall [4].
