Plumas Bancorp

Plumas Bancorp (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/plbc#NASDAQ">PLBC</a>) is looking like an interesting pick from a technical perspective, as the company reached a key level of support. Recently, PLBC&#39;s 50-day simple moving average crossed above its 200-day simple moving average, known as a &quot;golden cross.&quot;
A golden cross is a technical chart pattern that can signify a potential bullish breakout. It&#39;s formed from a crossover involving a security&#39;s short-term moving average breaking above a longer-term moving average, with the most common moving averages being the 50-day and the 200-day, since bigger time periods tend to form stronger breakouts.
There are three stages to a golden cross. First, there must be a downtrend in a stock&#39;s price that eventually bottoms out. Then, the stock&#39;s shorter moving average crosses over its longer moving average, triggering a positive trend reversal. The third stage is when a stock continues the upward momentum to higher prices.
This kind of chart pattern is the opposite of a death cross, which is a technical event that suggests future bearish price movement.
Shares of PLBC have been moving higher over the past four weeks, up 22.3%. Plus, the company is currently a #2 (Buy) on the Zacks Rank, suggesting that PLBC could be poised for a breakout.
The bullish case solidifies once investors consider PLBC&#39;s positive earnings outlook. For the current quarter, no earnings estimate has been cut compared to 1 revisions higher in the past 60 days. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has increased too.

With a winning combination of earnings estimate revisions and hitting a key technical level, investors should keep their eye on PLBC for more gains in the near future.

Tuesday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Plumas (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLBC#NASDAQ">PLBC</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Thursday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 27 cents per share.

Raymond James Initiates Coverage On Plumas with Outperform Rating, Announces Price Target of $38

Friday marks the last chance for investors to receive the next dividend payout from Plumas (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLBC#NASDAQ">PLBC</a>). 
<h3>What's Happening</h3>
The company announced on Thursday that it would pay shareholders a quarterly dividend of 25 cents per share. On Monday, Plumas will go ex-dividend, meaning the stock will trade lower to reflect that payout. In other words, the stock will likely open 25 cents lower than it would have opened on any other day.
In order to be eligible to receive a company's dividend, shareholders must own the stock prior to the ex-dividend date—in this case, Monday. Shareholders who own PLBC as of the end of Friday's session are eligible to receive the 25 cents dividend payout for every share that they own. 
According to the company, this dividend will be paid out to shareholders on August 15, 2023. Investors will then be able to either reinvest those dividends back into the stock or use the payment in some other way.

&nbsp;Plumas Bancorp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLBC#NASDAQ">PLBC</a>), the parent company of Plumas Bank, today announced that Plumas Bancorp (&quot;Company&quot;) has been included in the Russell 2000 Index by FTSE Russell following its annual reconstitution.

&nbsp;
Andrew J. Ryback, director, president and chief executive officer of Plumas Bancorp and Plumas Bank stated, &quot;Inclusion on the Russell 2000 provides meaningful exposure in the investment community with a multitude of funds benchmarked to the Russell.

Shares of bank stocks are trading lower following the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and Signature Bank, which has caused financial sector uncertainty.

BJ North, EVP and Chief Banking Officer at Plumas (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PLBC#NASDAQ">PLBC</a>), reported a large insider sell on February 27, according to a new SEC filing. 
What Happened: A Form 4 filing from the <a href="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001168455/000143774923004823//Archives/edgar/data/1168455/000143774923004823/0001437749-23-004823-index.htm">U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission</a> on Monday showed that North sold 7,475 shares of Plumas.

<h3>Why Insider Transactions Are Important</h3>
Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however an insider transaction can be an important factor in the investing decision. 
In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any shareholder who owns at least 10% of a company. This can include executives in the c-suite and large hedge funds. These insiders are required to let the public know of their transactions via a Form 4 filing, which must be filed within two business days of the transaction.
When a company insider makes a new purchase, that is an indication that they expect the stock to rise.
Insider sells, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean that the seller thinks the stock will go down. 
<h3>Transaction Codes To Focus On</h3>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">Investors</a> prefer focusing on transactions that take place in the open market, indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A indicates the insider may have been forced to sell shares in order to receive compensation that had been promised upon being hired by the company.
