Robert E. Latta Stock Trades

Robert E. Latta Financial Disclosure Profile | Quantellect Robert E. Latta Financial Disclosure Profile

Every disclosed trade tied to Robert E. Latta's financial filings since 2019 is a purchase. The record contains 23 transactions, zero sales, and 20 transactions under the ticker FMAO. It is a concentrated and consistent pattern within this record, and it is worth being precise about whose trading it reflects: all 23 transactions carry a spouse attribution code, meaning they are attributed to Latta's spouse rather than to the congressman personally.

A recurring, narrow bank-stock purchase pattern

The transaction history runs from August 30, 2019 through July 20, 2026 and shows recurring purchases in a narrow set of bank-stock disclosures. Twenty of the 23 disclosed transactions are in Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc. under the ticker FMAO, with the remaining three disclosed under the ticker FMBA between 2019 and 2023. The filings identify both sets of transactions as Farmers & Merchants Bancorp Inc.

The cadence has been remarkably steady. The record shows five purchases in each of 2023, 2024, and 2025; four so far in 2026; two in 2022; and single transactions in 2020 and 2019. No transaction is listed for 2021. Most disclosed amounts fall in the $1,001 to $15,000 range, with several larger purchases, including the 2019 FMBA purchase and FMAO purchases in June 2024, June 2025, and June 2026, falling in the $15,001 to $50,000 range. The most recent disclosed transaction was a purchase of FMAO shares on July 20, 2026, disclosed on July 24, 2026.

Because every transaction carries the spouse attribution code, the record should be read as recurring purchase activity attributed to Latta's spouse, not as personal transactions attributed to the congressman. No transactions in this dataset are attributed to Latta personally, jointly, to a dependent child, or to an unknown filer relationship.

Sector concentration follows directly from the security concentration: of the 23 disclosed transactions, 20 fall in Financials and the remaining three carry no sector classification in the data. The record shows only stock purchases, with no sales or other transaction types.

Farmers & Merchants Bancorp, Inc. is the bank holding company for The Farmers & Merchants State Bank, which provides commercial banking services to individuals and small businesses across Northwest Ohio, Northeast Indiana, and Southeast Michigan.

Latta's Quantellect Score stood at 67 as of August 21, 2026, placing him in the "solid" tier and ranking him 26th in a 76-member scoring cohort. The underlying activity comprises 20 Financials-sector transactions and three unclassified transactions, all purchases and all spouse-coded. That attribution matters because the score is attached to the member's disclosure profile even though none of the transaction rows is attributed to Latta personally.

Disclosure and methodology notes

This profile is built from data reported in periodic transaction reports filed under the Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge Act of 2012, using definitions and reporting mechanics set out in the House Committee on Ethics financial disclosure instruction guide. Disclosed amounts reflect the reporting ranges required by law, not exact transaction values. Transaction dates reflect the dates of the underlying trades; disclosure dates record when the corresponding transactions were disclosed. Underlying filings can be reviewed directly, including the most recent disclosure covering the July 2026 FMAO purchase and the earliest disclosure in this dataset, the August 2019 FMBA purchase.
