Written by software from the filings listed below · Oct 16, 2026
- Funds and stakes. Kenneth R. Lehman disclosed a 39.4% stake in BAFN (filed Oct 13, 2026). (Bayfirst Financial on OQRO)
- Contracts, lobbying and filings. FINRA short interest for BAFN on the settlement date of Sep 30, 2026 was 647,053 shares (+66.95% on the previous report), about 2.52 days of average volume. In 13F filings for the quarter ended Jun 30, 2026, the largest positions that grew: First Manhattan Co. Llc. (increased, 5,000 shares); the largest that shrank: none on record. A 13F is a quarter-end snapshot with no trade date.
- Company reports, price and press. Bayfirst Financial filed a Form 8-K on Sep 29, 2026 (Item 5.02) that OQRO classes as: changed a top executive or board member. The company's own opening sentence of that report reads: "On September 24, 2026, BayFirst Financial Corp. (the 'Company'), BayFirst National Bank (the 'Bank'), and their Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Robin L. Oliver, entered into a revised Employment Agreement."
- Things to keep in mind. These are counts of the filings OQRO holds, in the days they were filed; a busy or quiet month does not say why. A Form 4 reports a transaction; it does not say why it was made, and some follow trading windows or pre-arranged plans. Congress reports give only amount ranges and arrive after the trade. An 8-K item says what the company reported, not what it means for the share price.
