Univest Financial Corporation reported a director-level purchase and multiple restricted stock unit transactions in late January and early February 2026. Director Natalye Paquin purchased 580 shares of common stock on February 2, 2026, at a per-share price of $34.579, for a total value of $20,055.
Earlier, on January 31, 2026, Paquin acquired 1,766 shares of common stock that were issued upon the vesting of restricted stock units. In addition to those vested units, Paquin was granted 1,283 restricted stock units that are scheduled to vest on January 31, 2028. The company notes these restricted stock units are a contingent right to receive one share of common stock upon vesting.
These insider transactions occur against the backdrop of Univest's fourth-quarter 2025 financial results, which exceeded analyst expectations. The company delivered earnings per share of $0.79, above the consensus forecast of $0.77. Reported revenue for the quarter was $84.57 million, outpacing the $82.54 million analysts had anticipated.
In response to the quarter, Keefe, Bruyette & Woods adjusted its price objective for Univest to $36.00, up from $34.00, while retaining a Market Perform rating on the shares. The research firm attributed its upward revision in part to the stronger fourth-quarter performance, noting that core pre-provision net revenue surpassed its estimate.
Collectively, the director's open-market purchase, recent RSU vesting activity, and the company’s quarterly outperformance are the factual elements recorded in these filings and releases. The transactions and earnings disclosure are discrete events documented by the company and the covering research firm.
All figures in this report reflect the amounts and dates disclosed in company filings and analyst commentary related to the fourth quarter of 2025 and the early-February 2026 insider transaction.
