CRTO Criteo S.A. Insider Trading

Director van der Kooi Frederik buys 5,000 CRTO shares at $17.81; stock down 52.1% from 52-week high, insider's prior CRTO buys all posted negative 90-day returns.

van der Kooi Frederik purchased 5,000 shares at $17.81 on 2026-03-13, increasing his holdings by 23.1% to 26,600 shares total. The stock is currently trading at $18.02, well below its 52-week high of $37.65 (down 52.1%), and has declined 12.6% over the past 90 days despite a modest 1.2% gain over the past 30 days. This open-market buy occurs in the context of a concerning pattern: van der Kooi's three prior purchases at CRTO all generated negative 90-day returns (ranging from -10.8% to -21.5%), with zero instances of well-timed entry at this ticker. His cross-ticker track record across all open-market buys similarly shows a 0% win rate at the 90-day mark, with an average 90-day return of -15.8%. While fundamentals show a modest P/E of 5.30, the consistent underperformance following this insider's prior accumulation efforts at this same ticker suggests limited predictive value in this purchase as a positive signal.

Director van der Kooi buys 5,000 CRTO shares at $21.52; stock down 50.2% from 52-week high of $45.89.

Van der Kooi purchased 5,000 shares at $21.52 on 2025-11-10, increasing holdings by 30.1% to 21.6K shares total. This is his second purchase at CRTO in a week—he also bought on 2025-11-03—suggesting repeated accumulation. However, his cross-ticker buy history shows limited success: 2 prior open-market buys averaged -4.2% over 30 days and -21.5% over 90 days with a 0.00% win rate. His most recent measurable same-ticker buy from 2023-08-07 similarly delivered -4.2% over 30 days and -21.5% over 90 days. The stock currently trades at $22.84, down 50.2% from its 52-week high of $45.89, and has risen 16.2% over the past 30 days but declined 5.8% over 90 days. While the company shows a low P/E of 8.75 and positive net income of $21.2M, annual revenue growth is flat at -0.8%. The repeated purchases merit observation given the insider's poor historical timing across both this ticker and other holdings.

Director van der Kooi bought 2,299 shares of CRTO at $22.61 on 2025-11-03; stock now at $22.07, -51.9% from 52-week high.

van der Kooi Frederik, a Director, purchased 2,299 shares at $22.61, increasing holdings by 16.1% to 16,600 shares. The stock currently trades at $22.07, near the transaction price but significantly depressed at -51.9% from its 52-week high of $45.89. His prior buy at this ticker on 2023-08-07 posted a 90-day return of -21.5%, and across his broader open-market history, his average 90-day return on purchases is -21.5% with a 0% win rate over 90 days. Fundamentals show a modestly leveraged position with P/E of 8.46, annual revenue growth of -0.8%, and net income of $21.2M on $482.7M in quarterly revenue, indicating marginal operational momentum.

Director Teunissen buys 4,403 shares of Criteo (CRTO) at $22.71 for $100.0K; stakes jump 54.6% to 12.5K shares

Ernst Teunissen, a director of Criteo, purchased 4,403 shares at $22.71 on 2025-11-03, growing his holdings from 8,065 shares (8.1K shares) to 12,468 shares (12.5K shares) — a 54.6% increase in his position. The purchase occurred when Criteo trades at $22.07, still -51.9% from its 52-week high of $45.89, suggesting the stock has experienced significant decline over the past year despite a 2.4% gain over the past 30 days. The company itself shows modest fundamentals: latest quarterly revenue of $482,671,000.00 ($482.7M) with annual revenue growth of -0.8%, and a low P/E of 8.46, which may reflect market skepticism about growth prospects. The director's open-market acquisition of a material block of shares represents a meaningful commitment to the company at depressed valuation levels relative to recent trading history.

CRO Gleason sells 15,151 shares across 2 transactions for $582,343.55 at blended $38.44, reducing holdings 12.9%

Gleason Brian, CRO & President of Retail Media, executed 2 separate sales on 2025-02-27, disposing of 15,151 shares for $582,343.55 at a blended average price of $38.44. This represents a 12.9% reduction in his holdings from 117,319 to 102,168 shares. The current stock price of $38.81 is only slightly above the transaction prices, suggesting the sales occurred near prevailing market levels rather than at a significant premium or discount. With annual revenue growth of -0.8% and a P/E of 13.20, the company is showing modest fundamentals, and this open-market sale falls within normal insider trading activity for an executive managing a large equity position.

CFO Sarah Glickman sold 17,883 shares of CRTO at $40.30 for $720,684.90 on 2025-02-25.

Sarah Glickman, Chief Financial Officer of Criteo S.A., executed a sale of 17,883 shares at $40.30, reducing her holdings from 311,878 shares to 293,995 shares (a -5.7% reduction in position size). The transaction occurred when the stock was trading at $40.30, approximately 20.8% below its 52-week high of $49.66 but above its current price of $39.31, suggesting the shares were disposed of during a modest price elevation within recent range. Criteo's fundamentals show modest strain with annual revenue growth at -3.4%, net income of $6.2M on quarterly revenue of $458.9M, and a trailing P/E of 21.36, indicating the company faces headwinds in its core business. Without additional context on whether this sale was discretionary or scheduled under a pre-existing plan, the transaction reflects a routine minority reduction in the CFO's stake during a period of mixed price action and declining year-over-year revenue.

CLO Damon Ryan sold 38.9K shares of Criteo (CRTO) for $1.6M at $40.12 avg on 2025-02-25/26

Damon Ryan, Chief Legal Officer of Criteo, executed 3 separate sales totaling 38,917 shares for $1,561,375.85 at a blended average price of $40.12 across February 25–26. This sale reduced his holdings by 33.7%, from 115,646 shares to 76,729 shares. At the current price of $39.31, the stock is -20.8% from its 52-week high of $49.66, but the transactions occurred near the blended average, not at a depressed valuation relative to recent price action (the stock was at $40.12 during the sales). Across his same-ticker history at CRTO, 3 of 5 prior sales were well-timed at the 90-day mark, suggesting some pattern of selling ahead of declines; however, the current filing contains no explicit FLAGS, so the timing of this particular transaction cannot be presumed to result from a formal trading plan and may reflect discretionary positioning. The company's fundamentals show revenue of $458.9M in the latest quarter with annual revenue growth of -3.4% and a P/E of 21.36, offering limited clarity on strategic urgency for the sale.

Criteo CRO & President Gleason sold 19.8K shares at $40.30; holds 117.3K post-sale with stock at $39.31.

Gleason Brian, Chief Revenue Officer and President of Retail Media at Criteo, executed an open-market sale of 19,842 shares at $40.30 on 2025-02-25, realizing $799,632.60. Post-transaction holdings remain substantial at 117,319 shares, representing a 14.5% reduction from 137,161 shares held before the sale. The transaction occurred when the stock is -20.8% from its 52-week high of $49.66 and currently trades at $39.31, slightly below the sale price. Criteo faces headwinds with annual revenue declining -3.4% year-over-year and a compressed P/E multiple of 21.36 against modest profitability of $6.2M on $458.9M revenue, warranting observation of whether further sales by insiders in leadership positions follow this activity.

CEO Clarken Megan sold 14,690 shares at avg $43.74 on 2025-02-14 ($642.6K); continues rapid succession of sales.

Clarken Megan, CEO of Criteo S.A., executed three separate sales totaling 14,690 shares for $642,563.22 on 2025-02-14, at an average price of $43.74, reducing her holdings from 488,229 to 473,539 shares (-3.0%). This transaction follows a notable pattern: the same insider filed sales on 2025-02-13 (three separate trades) and 2025-02-11, indicating sustained sales activity over a four-day window. Stock price context shows CRTO at $43.72 currently, near the blended transaction price, with positive 30-day (+15.5%) and 90-day (+18.4%) momentum; however, the stock is 12.0% below its 52-week high of $49.66. Across the insider's cross-ticker trading history, her 8 prior open-market sells averaged only +2.6% 30-day returns and +11.8% 90-day returns with a 0.00% well-timed rate—meaning prior sales have historically preceded stock appreciation rather than declines. At CRTO specifically, one measurable prior sale (2024-03-14) returned +6.6% over 90 days, also poorly-timed. The compounding sales over consecutive days warrants attention to assess whether operational or market conditions have prompted elevated turnover by the CEO.

CEO Clarken Megan sells 21,304 shares of Criteo (CRTO) for $935,166.36 across 4 transactions, Feb 11-13.

Clarken Megan, CEO of Criteo, executed 4 separate sales totaling 21,304 shares for $935,166.36 between February 11–13, 2025, at prices ranging from $43.42 to $44.51 (blended average $43.90). The sale represents a 4.2% reduction in her holdings, bringing her post-transaction stake to 488,229 shares. At the current price of $43.99, her remaining position stands near the transaction prices, and the stock is currently +18.2% over the past 30 days and +19.1% over 90 days—both strong recent performers relative to the 52-week range of $31.13–$49.66. Her prior four sales at Criteo (conducted in February–March 2024) produced mixed 90-day outcomes: all four resulted in gains, meaning none were well-timed in the sense of the stock subsequently declining. Her cross-ticker track record shows similarly modest timing accuracy (0% well-timed rate across 4 prior sales), though with modest average 90-day returns of +11.8%. The CEO's consistent pattern of selling into strength—particularly when the stock is up substantially in the recent term—merits observation alongside the company's modest fundamentals (−3.4% annual revenue growth, P/E of 23.91, recent quarterly net income of only $6.2M on $458.9M revenue).
