Screen-pass. Primis Financial Corp.: Q50/V68/M64, every leg clears the 50 floor; corroborated by net insider buying 0.01% of listed shares in 90d; active buyback (1 filing days). Nothing adverse known: no net insider selling and no negative forward-EPS revision. A light-tier screen-pass, not a high-conviction pick.
