Director Daniel J Englander buys 76,190 shares of YEXT at $5.22; holdings double to 141,190 shares (+117.2%)

Director Daniel J Englander purchased 76,190 shares at $5.22 on 2026-07-13, more than doubling his stake from 65,000 to 141,190 shares—a 117.2% increase in holdings. The current price of $5.21 sits 43.4% below the 52-week high of $9.20, placing the purchase within a recently elevated but still-depressed valuation window; the stock has recovered 28.3% over 30 days and 48.9% over 90 days. Yext's fundamentals show a mature, profitable business with $107.9M in quarterly revenue, $2.6M net income, 6.1% annual revenue growth, and a modest 13.02 P/E ratio, suggesting the company is not in distress. Across all tickers and prior transactions, Englander's cross-ticker track record shows 3 prior sells with a 66.67% well-timed rate (90-day), indicating moderate predictive pattern but limited directional consistency. The material increase in ownership stakes suggests elevated commitment to the business at current valuation levels.

Lead Edge Capital sells 4,948,782 shares (63.1% of holdings) at $5.75; stock down 57.3% from 52-week high, -29.9% in 30 days.

Lead Edge Capital Management, LLC, a 10% owner of Yext, executed 3 separate sales totaling 4,948,782 shares for $28,455,496.50 at $5.75 per share, reducing its stake from 7,840,674 to 2,891,892 shares. The transaction occurred at a significant discount to recent trading history: the current price of $3.91 is 57.3% below the 52-week high of $9.16, and the stock has declined 29.9% over the past 30 days and 51.6% over 90 days. This large reduction in a major shareholder's position during a period of sharp price deterioration is noteworthy given the company's modest fundamentals: P/E of 5.21 with annual revenue growth of 6.1% and net income of $6.1M on $112.0M in quarterly revenue.

Significance 5

CEO Michael Walrath sold 168,434 shares across 2 transactions (Dec 16–17) at blended $6.45, reducing stake by 13.7%

Michael Walrath, CEO of Yext, Inc., executed 2 separate sales totaling 168,434 shares for $1,085,922.80 at an average price of $6.45, reducing his holdings from 1,232,952 shares to 1,064,518 shares. The company operates with fundamental headwinds: net income was $-12,799,000.00 over the most recent full fiscal year, and quarterly revenue growth remains minimal at 0.9% year-over-year. Walrath's prior three trades at YEXT (all sells on Dec 11, 12, and 13) show a pattern of consecutive sales over a concentrated 6-day period; however, these prior sales do not yet have measurable 90-day outcomes. The current stock price of $6.49 sits 24.5% below the 52-week high of $8.60 and has declined 16.6% over the past 30 days, indicating deteriorating near-term momentum at the time of his sales.

Significance 6

Yext CEO Walrath sold 131,566 shares (9.6% of holdings) over 3 days at blended average $7.04, raising $926,753.75

Walrath executed 3 separate sales totaling 131,566 shares for $926,753.75 at prices ranging from $6.67 to $7.06 over December 11–13, 2024, reducing his holdings by 9.6%. The sales occurred at a blended average of $7.04, which is 8.3% above the current price of $6.50 and near the upper end of Yext's recent trading range. The company remains unprofitable (net income of $-12,799,000 in the latest quarter) with minimal annual revenue growth at +0.9%, creating a challenging fundamental backdrop. The timing of these sales—executed just days after a market downturn that saw the stock decline 18.8% over 30 days—followed by continued weakness to $6.50 suggests the CEO's selling activity occurred before additional price deterioration.

Significance 6

Director Waugh Seth H. buys 32,600 shares of YEXT at $6.65; holdings rise to 153.4K (+27.0%)

Director Waugh purchased 32,600 shares at $6.65 on 2024-09-19, increasing his holdings by 27.0% to 153.4K shares. The purchase came during a 30-day rally of +28.0% and occurs at $6.65, within the recent 52-week range of $4.72–$7.04, though the current price of $6.54 reflects a -7.1% pullback from the 52-week high. Yext remains unprofitable with a latest-quarter net income of $-4.1M against revenue of $97.9M, and annual revenue growth has been minimal at +0.9%, suggesting the company is navigating a challenging operational environment. The scale of this purchase—adding material shares to an already substantial personal stake—occurs against a backdrop of recent price momentum, yet in a fundamentally constrained business context.
