PODC PodcastOne, Inc. Insider Trading

Director Jonathan Merriman buys 7,000 PODC shares at $4.38; 5 of 5 prior PODC trades were 90d well-timed, 100% cross-ticker win rate.

Director Jonathan Merriman purchased 7,000 shares at $4.38, continuing a disciplined buying pattern at PodcastOne: his five prior trades at PODC each achieved positive 90-day returns (ranging from +15.9% to +116.4%), with a 100% on-target timing record at this specific ticker. His cross-ticker track record reinforces this capability: 20 prior buys across all holdings averaged +45.5% 90-day return with a 100.00% win rate. The current stock price of $4.76 sits +81.0% above his 90-day entry point and +48.8% above the 30-day baseline, suggesting the market has validated recent entry levels. However, the company remains unprofitable (net income of $-154,000.00 in the latest quarter) despite +20.4% annual revenue growth to $15,856,000.00, introducing asymmetric risk: the insider's timing acuity may reflect sentiment or forward visibility, but does not eliminate fundamental profitability challenges.

Carhart Ryan purchases 4,500 shares of PODC at $2.24; holds 11,061 shares post-buy; stock -14.0% from 52-week high amid unprofitable operations.

Carhart Ryan acquired 4,500 shares (4.5K shares) at $2.24 per share on 2026-04-17, increasing his position by +68.6% to 11,061 shares (11.1K shares). PodcastOne remains unprofitable with net income of $-154,000.00 over the most recent full fiscal year, though the company posted +20.4% annual revenue growth to $15,856,000.00. The current price of $2.70 sits -14.0% from the 52-week high and +11.1% above the 30-day average, placing this purchase near an intermediate peak rather than at depressed valuations. An investor should observe whether this accumulation by an insider coincides with improving profitability trajectory, as the company's sustained losses and modest market capitalization of $73,332,310.50 create execution risk despite recent revenue momentum.

Director Merriman buys 10,200 shares at $2.11 avg; 3.5% portfolio increase; strong cross-ticker track record (94.12% 90d win rate)

Director D Jonathan Merriman purchased 10,200 shares across 2 separate transactions on 2026-04-17 at a blended average price of $2.11, increasing his holdings from 292,532 to 302,732 shares. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior open-market buys with a 90-day win rate of 94.12% and average 90-day return of +27.3%, though his 5 prior trades at PODC show more mixed outcomes (90d returns of +4.4%, +6.9%, +15.9%, and -15.0% at the measured timestamps). At the same ticker, 3 of 3 prior measurable 90-day outcomes were positive. The current price of $2.70 sits 14.0% below the 52-week high and stock has gained +11.1% over the past 30 days, suggesting a recent recovery context. PODC itself operates with negative net income (latest quarter: $-154,000.00) and reported unprofitable full-year results, though annual revenue grew +20.4% year-over-year to $15,856,000.00, indicating growth-stage fundamentals typical of a smaller cap media/podcast company.

Director MERRIMAN D JONATHAN buys 2,980 shares of PODC at $2.35; 5th purchase in 4 months with 4-for-4 well-timed outcomes at 90-day mark.

Director MERRIMAN D JONATHAN purchased 2,980 shares at $2.35 on 2026-03-23, his fifth open-market buy of PodcastOne stock within four months. This transaction occurs just 11 days after his prior purchase on 2026-03-12, indicating sustained accumulation activity. Notably, his prior four completed trades at PODC show a pattern: all four posted positive 90-day returns, reflecting 4-for-4 well-timed purchases at the 90-day mark. Against this backdrop of disciplined accumulation during a period when the stock trades 26.4% below its 52-week high, the repeated buying pattern and historical timing success at this ticker warrant attention to what may be signaled about management's conviction. However, PODC remains unprofitable (latest full-year net income was negative) despite strong revenue growth of 20.4%, creating a fundamental counterweight to the insider buying signal.

Director Merriman buys 6,300 PODC shares at $2.22; 5th consecutive buy in 4 months with 100% 90d win rate at this ticker.

Director Jonathan D. Merriman purchased 6,300 shares of PodcastOne at $2.22 on 2026-03-12, increasing his holdings from 283.3K to 289.6K shares. This represents his fifth open-market buy at PODC within the past four months. Notably, each of his prior four PODC purchases (2025-11-14, 2025-11-19, 2025-11-26, 2025-12-05, and 2025-12-16) generated positive 90-day returns, ranging from +4.4% to +29.6%, achieving a 100% 90-day win rate at this specific ticker. His cross-ticker track record shows an even stronger 90-day win rate of 94.74% across 20 prior buys. The current stock price of $2.41 is -15.7% over the last 30 days and -23.2% from its 52-week high of $3.14, suggesting he is buying into a period of recent weakness despite the company's strong annual revenue growth of +20.4%. The company remains unprofitable on a full-year basis, with recent quarterly net income of -$154.0K against revenue of $15.9M, adding fundamental uncertainty to what appears to be a pattern of repeated accumulation.

Director Merriman D Jonathan purchased 6,100 PODC shares at $2.08 on 2025-12-16; fifth discretionary buy in four weeks amid unprofitability

Director Merriman D Jonathan purchased 6,100 shares at $2.08, bringing his holdings to 283,252 shares—a modest 2.2% increase. This is the fifth open-market purchase in four weeks (buying on 2025-12-16, 2025-12-05, 2025-11-26, 2025-11-19, and 2025-11-14), reflecting a pattern of accumulated purchases during a period when the stock is down 21.6% from its 52-week high of $2.87. PODC remains unprofitable with a net loss of $975,000 in the latest quarter despite quarterly revenue of $15,156,000 and positive annual revenue growth of 20.4%, creating a backdrop of operational losses alongside operational expansion. Across his broader cross-ticker track record, Merriman's 20 prior open-market buys averaged a 90-day return of 30.5% with a 93.33% win rate, though his prior four measurable trades at PODC yielded a 30-day return of 10.6% and 90-day return of 37.3%—suggesting his past timing at this ticker has been favorable, but this newest batch of five consecutive purchases within weeks is still too recent to assess execution quality.

Director Merriman buys 5,700 PODC shares at $2.16; fourth purchase in 12 days amid strong prior timing at this ticker.

Jonathan Merriman purchased 5,700 shares of PodcastOne at $2.16, adding to his 277,152-share position (+2.1% increase). This marks the fourth buy in 12 days (purchases on 2025-11-14, 2025-11-19, 2025-11-26, and 2025-12-05), suggesting sustained accumulation rather than isolated activity. At the same ticker, Merriman's two prior measurable trades both achieved positive 90-day returns: +37.3% on the 2025-09-04 buy and +44.3% on the 2025-08-22 buy, establishing a pattern of well-timed entries at PODC. The company reported a quarterly revenue of $15,156,000.00 with a net loss of $-975,000.00 and unprofitable full-year results, despite 20.4% annual revenue growth—a mix of operational headwinds and top-line expansion that may explain both the depressed stock price (22.0% below the 52-week high) and the director's repeated buying. The recent cluster of purchases warrants observation to determine whether this accumulation pattern continues and whether prior success at this ticker repeats.

Director Merriman buys 7,373 PODC shares at $2.47; 5th purchase in 7 days; prior same-ticker trades 90d +44.3% to +53.7%.

MERRIMAN D JONATHAN (Director) purchased 7,373 shares of PodcastOne at $2.47 on 2025-11-26, representing a 2.8% increase to his post-transaction holdings of 271,452 shares. This is the fifth open-market purchase at PODC within seven days (buys on 2025-11-19, 2025-11-14, 2025-09-04, and two earlier buys on 2025-08-22 and 2025-08-21), signaling sustained accumulation despite the stock trading at -22.6% from its 52-week high of $2.87 and currently -0.9% over the past 30 days. His prior same-ticker trades at PODC show strong 90-day performance: the 2025-08-22 purchase returned +44.3% at the 90-day mark, and the 2025-08-21 purchase returned +53.7%, with 2 of 2 measurable prior buys at this ticker well-timed at the 90-day horizon. However, the company remains unprofitable (net income $-975,000.00 in the latest quarter, negative full-year net income), though revenue grew +20.4% year-over-year, leaving fundamental weakness as a counterweight to his demonstrated accumulation pattern at this ticker.

Director Merriman bought 11,000 PODC shares at $2.20; 5th buy in recent months with 3 of 3 prior trades well-timed at 90-day mark (44.3% and 53.7% gains).

Director Jonathan Merriman purchased 11,000 shares of PodcastOne at $2.20, increasing his holdings by 4.3% to 264,079 shares. This is the insider's fifth open-market purchase of PODC in under three months, following buys on 2025-11-14, 2025-09-04, 2025-08-22, 2025-08-21, and 2025-03-31. His prior three completed trades at this ticker showed strong subsequent performance, with 90-day returns of +44.3%, +53.7%, and +52.3% respectively—all well-timed entry points. The pattern of sustained accumulation at a sub-52-week-high price ($2.20 vs $2.87 high), combined with measurable success in prior similar positions, suggests conviction in the stock at current levels despite the company's present unprofitability (latest quarter net income -$975.0K) and modest market cap of $63.5M.

Director Jonathan Merriman bought 10.7K PodcastOne shares at $2.16 on 2025-11-14; holdings now 253.1K (up 4.4%). 90d track record 93.75% win rate.

Director MERRIMAN D JONATHAN purchased 10,700 shares at $2.16, bringing total holdings to 253,079 shares—a 4.4% increase in position size. His cross-ticker track record shows a 93.75% win rate at the 90-day mark with an average 90d return of +30.2% across 20 prior buys, and at PodcastOne specifically, both prior measurable 90-day outcomes (purchases on 2025-03-31 and 2025-03-28) delivered positive returns of +52.3% and +75.3% respectively. The stock has moved +37.1% over 30 days and +50.0% over 90 days since his transaction date, and is currently trading at $2.40 (16.4% below its 52-week high of $2.87). Despite the company's unprofitability (net income of $-975,000.00 in the latest quarter) and modest scale (market cap $64.6M, revenue $15.2M), the director's consistent pattern of well-timed accumulation at this ticker—combined with strong recent price momentum—suggests informed positioning ahead of what may be a recovery phase.
