CFO Bret Richter sells 18,000 ZD shares at $46.88; stock at $45.74, up 12.0% in 30d. Post-sale holding: 29.2K shares (-38.1%).

Bret Richter, Chief Financial Officer of Ziff Davis, sold 18,000 shares at $46.88 on 2026-06-10, reducing his holdings by 38.1% to 29.2K shares. The stock is now trading at $45.74, having risen 12.0% over the prior 30 days and 15.9% over 90 days, above its 52-week low but 9.5% below its 52-week high. His cross-ticker track record shows limited open-market buying activity (1 prior buy) with poor outcomes: that prior buy at ZD on 2025-03-05 generated 30-day and 90-day losses of 14.6% and 17.6%, respectively. The company trades at a P/E of 37.19 on modest 3.5% annual revenue growth, with latest-quarter net income of $22.3M on revenue of $267.6M. The sale represents a material reduction in the CFO's stake rather than a modest rebalance.

ZD CFO Richter Bret buys 2,500 shares at $39.21; stock -43.2% from 52-week high. 6-insider cluster buy in 14 days.

Richter Bret, CFO of Ziff Davis, purchased 2,500 shares at $39.21 on 2025-03-05, increasing his holdings from 13,839 to 16,339 shares—an 18.1% increase in his position. The transaction occurs amid a sharp stock decline: the current price of $39.15 reflects a -43.2% drawdown from the 52-week high of $68.88 and a -32.9% drop over the past 90 days. Notably, this purchase is part of a cluster of 6 other insider buys within the past 14 days, suggesting coordinated or simultaneous confidence among multiple executives. His cross-ticker track record shows a 100% win rate on prior buys (avg 90d return +14.4%), and his prior ZD purchase on 2023-05-31 also generated positive 90-day returns (+14.4%), establishing a pattern of well-timed entry points. However, the company's fundamentals present tension: latest quarterly revenue stands at $353,580,000 with negative net income of -48,577,000, and the P/E of 19.97 on a market cap of $1,677,383,355.15 suggests valuations remain elevated despite the stock's recent deterioration.
