Jarman Victoria 4

What Happened

Victoria Jarman, CHR & WOW! Officer and Executive Vice President of FS Bancorp (FSBW), acquired 89 shares on February 2, 2026 at $42.28 per share for a total of $3,763. This was a purchase through the issuer's employee stock purchase arrangement (a purchase is generally a more bullish signal than a sale, though this is a routine employee-plan acquisition).

Key Details

• Transaction date and price: 2026-02-02 — 89 shares at $42.28 each (total $3,763).
• Transaction code: J — reported as "other acquisition or disposition" (used for plan-based purchases or other non-open-market acquisitions).
• Footnote: Shares were bought under the issuer's Nonqualified 2022 Stock Purchase Plan and include a 25% company match.
• Shares owned after transaction: Not specified in the filing.
• Filing timing: Transaction filed with SEC on 2026-02-10 for a Feb 2 trade — later than the usual 2-business-day Form 4 deadline, so the filing appears untimely.

Context

This was an employee-plan purchase (with a company match), not an open-market trade or option exercise. The dollar amount is modest (about $3.8k), so while it shows insider participation, it's a routine compensation-related buy rather than a material stake increase. Late filing can reduce transparency for investors; it does not itself indicate the reason for the trade.
