Analysis · URSB · Finance
Fresh open-market buying on 10/22/2026 added 7,538 shares at $13.10-$13.14, lifting Seidman's group to 152,397 shares, or 6.53% of the 2,334,375 shares outstanding. That is up from the 5.40% disclosed in the original 13D on September 23, and the group has now spent roughly $1.71M building the position. Because the purchases sit near the 52-week high of $13.2275, this looks like accumulation at the top of the range rather than a distressed entry. Seidman is a known bank activist, and moving further above 5% keeps pressure on a small New Jersey thrift that just completed its IPO and posted its first quarterly report in August.
