Perma-Pipe International (PPIH) Insider Zakhour Buys 2,648 Shares

Nancy Zakhour added to her stake in Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc. (PPIH) on June 24, 2026. According to recent filings, she acquired 2,648 shares on the Nasdaq-listed industrial firm. This move was not an isolated event; it occurred on the same day that several other top executives at the company also reported acquiring shares, suggesting a coordinated period of accumulation among those closest to the business.

A Wave of Insider Activity

The purchase by Nancy Zakhour on June 24 was part of a busy week for Perma-Pipe's leadership. On that same date, President and CEO Sagr Saleh Nehad Saleh acquired 21,509 shares, and CFO Matthew Earl Lewicki added 6,716 shares. Another affiliate, Richard Sherrill, also picked up 2,648 shares. These acquisitions show a different trend than the smaller sales made by CFO Lewicki just days earlier and later in the week. On June 22, the CFO sold 497 shares at $28.05, and on June 25, he sold 1,070 shares at $27.30. None of these transactions were conducted under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which is a tool insiders use to schedule trades in advance to avoid conflicts of interest.

What's Ahead for Perma-Pipe International Holdings, Inc.

Investors often watch insider buying because it can signal that those running the company believe the stock is undervalued or that good news is on the horizon. While the June 24 cluster of buys is notable, it is important to remember that 13F filings and insider reports are backward-looking and show what happened in the past. The next major update for the company will be its December earnings call, which will reveal if the growth in revenue and margins has continued through the latter half of the year.
