Chief Product & Tech Officer buys 20,000 VMEO shares at $5.38; cluster buy by 4 insiders in 14 days as stock down -20.8% in 90 days
PETROCELLI ROBERT RAYMOND purchased 20,000 shares at $5.38 on 2025-02-21, raising his holdings to 820,000 shares. This buy occurs within a cluster pattern: 3 other insiders also purchased within the past 14 days. The stock has declined -20.8% over the past 90 days and -18.7% over the past 30 days, trading at $5.30, which is -27.6% from its 52-week high of $7.32. The company generated $104.6M in quarterly revenue with $9.3M in net income, though annual revenue growth stands at -0.0% and the stock trades at a P/E of 33.12. The synchronous buying activity by multiple insiders during a period of sustained price weakness warrants examination of whether this reflects internal assessment of value or other factors.
CEO Moyer buys 18,519 shares at $5.40 on 2025-02-21; stock down 27.6% from 52-week high and -18.7% in 30 days—amid cluster buy pattern.
Moyer, Chief Executive Officer of Vimeo, purchased 18,519 shares at $5.40 on 2025-02-21 for $100,021.12 in open-market trading. The stock has declined 27.6% from its 52-week high of $7.32 and is down 18.7% over the past 30 days, currently trading at $5.30. His prior VMEO purchase on 2024-08-07 registered a 90-day return of +49.0%, and across his cross-ticker open-market history, his average 90-day return on prior buys stands at +49.0% with a 100% win rate. Critically, 3 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, establishing a cluster buy pattern that coincides with material stock weakness. This convergence of timing—multiple insiders purchasing during a period of sustained price pressure—warrants attention to underlying fundamentals and whether recent declines have created a perceived valuation inflection.
CFO Munson Gillian bought 7,272 VMEO shares at $5.41; cluster of 3 other insiders bought within 14 days as stock declined 18.7% in 30 days.
Munson Gillian, CFO of Vimeo, purchased 7,272 shares at $5.41 on 2025-02-21, expanding holdings to 864,287 shares. This buy is notable because it occurs within a cluster—3 other insiders also purchased within the past 14 days—suggesting coordinated confidence in the stock's value at current levels. The timing occurs against a backdrop of significant price weakness: the stock is -18.7% over the past 30 days and -27.6% from its 52-week high of $7.32, trading near its 52-week low range. Gillian's prior buy at VMEO on 2024-08-08 achieved a 90d return of +45.6%, demonstrating a history of well-timed accumulation at this ticker, though that single prior trade offers limited predictive power. The current transaction's significance lies in the convergence of insider cluster activity during a period of depressed pricing, which warrants investor attention to whether this reflects management's view of underlying value or broader market dynamics.
Director Schiffman bought 20,000 VMEO shares at $5.31; stock down 27.6% from 52-week high with cluster buy pattern by 3 other insiders in 14 days.
Director Glenn Schiffman purchased 20,000 shares at $5.31, increasing holdings to 387,404 shares (+5.4%). The transaction occurred while VMEO trades at $5.30, down 27.6% from its 52-week high of $7.32 and down 18.7% over the past month. Most significantly, this buy is part of a cluster pattern: 3 other insiders also purchased shares within the past 14 days. Schiffman's cross-ticker buy history shows strong timing outcomes (3 prior buys with 100% 90-day win rate and +39.5% average 90-day return), and his one prior VMEO purchase on 2024-08-09 also proved well-timed (90d +47.2%). The synchronized buying activity from multiple insiders during a period of stock weakness suggests internal confidence, though the company's fundamentals show flat annual revenue growth (−0.0%) and a relatively high P/E of 33.12.
Director Adam Gross buys 50,000 VMEO shares at $5.01; cluster of 3 other insiders also bought within 14 days
Director Adam Gross purchased 50,000 shares of Vimeo at $5.01 on 2024-08-12, increasing his holdings by 50,000 shares (+21.5% vs pre-transaction holdings). This transaction is part of a cluster pattern: 3 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days. The stock has moved +36.1% over the past 30 days and trades at $5.09 currently, near its 52-week high range. The company shows mixed fundamentals—net income of $10.1M on revenue of $104.4M, but annual revenue growth of -3.6% against a P/E of 39.15. The timing of multiple insider purchases in a concentrated window warrants attention as a potential signal of management confidence, though broader revenue trends remain negative.
Vimeo director Schiffman Glenn bought 20,000 shares at $4.76; cluster pattern with 2 other insiders buying in past 14 days
Schiffman Glenn, a director at Vimeo, purchased 20,000 shares ($95,100.00 total) on 2024-08-09, increasing his holdings to 367,404 shares. This open-market buy occurs in the context of a multi-insider cluster, with 2 other insiders also buying within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated accumulation at current valuation levels. While the stock has recovered 29.6% over the past 30 days and 24.9% over 90 days from depressed levels, it remains 15.7% below its 52-week high, and the company trades at a P/E of 36.69 despite annual revenue decline of -3.6%. Schiffman's prior cross-ticker open-market history shows a 100.00% win rate over 90 days with average returns of 31.9%, but same-ticker measurable outcomes are absent, limiting the predictive value of his track record at Vimeo specifically.
CFO Munson Gillian buys 4,348 shares of VMEO at $4.63; now holds 1,040,676 shares
Munson Gillian, Chief Financial Officer of Vimeo, purchased 4,348 shares at $4.63 on 2024-08-08, acquiring $20,131.24 in value and increasing holdings to 1,040,676 shares. The transaction occurred at a price 3.5% below the current $4.80 level and substantially below the 52-week high of $5.66, placing the stock -15.2% from its recent peak. While the stock has rebounded +29.0% over the past 30 days and +25.6% over 90 days, the company's fundamentals show headwinds: annual revenue declined -3.6% year-over-year despite posting $10.1M net income on $104.4M quarterly revenue, and the P/E multiple of 36.92 remains elevated relative to growth trends. The modest scale of this purchase—0.4% net increase to an already substantial CFO position—in a period of recent stock appreciation does not provide clear signal regarding management's forward-looking confidence in the business trajectory.
VMEO CEO Moyer buys 32,051 shares at $4.67; holding rises to 1.71M shares (+1.9%)
Philip D. Moyer, CEO of Vimeo, purchased 32,051 shares at $4.67 on 2024-08-07, increasing his holdings to 1,712,490 shares. The purchase occurred at a price 4.5% below the current price of $4.47, though this represents a modest valuation point given the stock trades -21.0% below its 52-week high of $5.66. Vimeo's recent fundamentals show a $104.4M quarterly revenue base with $10.1M in net income, though the company faces -3.6% annual revenue decline and a P/E of 34.38, indicating modest profitability relative to valuation. The transaction reflects a 1.9% increase in Moyer's already substantial holdings of 1.68M shares, a continuation of his ownership position in the company.
