Buy
100,000 shares

Significance 4/10

Director Kenneth L. Cornick bought 100,000 shares of CLVT at $3.45; 3rd purchase in 10 days as stock down 39.9% from 52-week high.

Cornick purchased 100,000 shares at $3.45, bringing his total holdings to 1,100,000 shares, representing a 10.0% increase from pre-transaction holdings. This is his third purchase at CLVT in the past 10 days (prior buys on 2025-11-03 and 2025-10-31), suggesting sustained accumulation activity at depressed levels. The current stock price of $3.50 is -39.9% from the 52-week high of $5.82, and the company reported negative net income of $-28,300,000.00 on revenue of $623,100,000.00, indicating ongoing unprofitability. Notably, Cornick's prior buy at this ticker on 2025-08-01 exhibited a 90-day return of -13.4%, and across his full cross-ticker open-market history, his 3 prior buys averaged a 90-day return of -13.4% with a 0.00% 90-day win rate, providing limited precedent for successful timing on similar accumulation patterns.

725,000 shares
$2,482,000
Significance 5/10

Director Cornick buys 725,000 shares in 2 transactions for $2,482,000 ($3.38–$3.52), raising stake 263.6% to 1M shares.

Kenneth L. Cornick, a Director at Clarivate, executed two open-market purchases totaling 725,000 shares (725.0K shares) for $2,482,000.00 at an average price of $3.42, materially increasing his holdings from 275,000 shares to 1,000,000 shares. The current price of $3.54 is 46.4% below the 52-week high of $6.61, and the stock has declined 9.0% over the past 30 days. Cornick's cross-ticker track record shows limited prior buy activity (1 prior buy with negative 90-day returns), and his only prior purchase at CLVT on 2025-08-01 also posted a -13.4% return over 90 days, indicating a pattern of ill-timed accumulation at this ticker. The company remains unprofitable, with a negative net income of $-28,300,000.00 in its most recent quarter and annual revenue contraction of -2.7%, providing limited fundamental support for the insider's enlarged position.

$617,100
Significance 5/10

Director Kenneth L. Cornick purchases 165,000 shares of CLVT at $3.74; stock -48.0% from 52-week high, company unprofitable.

Kenneth L. Cornick, a director at Clarivate, purchased 165,000 shares at $3.74, increasing his holdings by 150.0% to 275,000 shares total. The transaction occurs against a backdrop of material headwinds: the stock trades -48.0% from its 52-week high of $7.10, has declined 30 days (-16.0%) and 90 days (-11.7%), and the company reported a net loss of $-72,000,000.00 in the latest quarter with full-year revenue down 2.7% year-over-year. Clarivate's market cap stands at $2,480,488,346.16 with an unprofitable fiscal year. Cornick's cross-ticker track record shows 10 prior open-market sells with an average 90-day return of -16.7%, and a well-timed sell rate of 100.00%, though this insider has no measurable prior same-ticker transaction history to establish predictive relevance for CLVT specifically. The timing of this purchase—into weakness and amid ongoing unprofitability—merits attention, particularly given the company's deteriorating financial trajectory and whether this reflects access to non-public improvement signals or simply reflects opportunistic positioning in a depressed price environment.

Sell
350,907 shares
$8,958,489
Significance 7/10

Director Cornick Kenneth L. sold 350,907 shares of Clear Secure for $8,958,488.79 in two transactions on 2025-05-21 and 2025-05-22.

Cornick Kenneth L., a director at Clear Secure, Inc., executed 2 separate sales totaling 350,907 shares for $8,958,488.79 at a blended average price of $25.53, reducing his position from 500,000 shares to 149,093 shares (a -70.2% reduction). The company's fundamentals show solid growth with Annual revenue growth of +25.6%, Net income of $25,405,000, and a reasonable P/E of 12.65. At his prior trades at Clear Secure, Cornick has demonstrated disciplined exit timing: 3 of 3 measurable prior sells showed negative 90-day returns (the most recent 2024-10-11 sell at -20.3%, and the 2024-09-18 and 2024-09-17 sells at -19.3% and -19.6% respectively). His cross-ticker track record shows a 90d well-timed rate of 100.00%, though this is measured across 8 prior sells on other tickers. The current stock price of $25.43 is -33.9% from its 52-week high of $38.45, suggesting the sale occurred during a period of relative weakness compared to recent highs, though still only -0.8% lower than 30 days prior.

Significance 7/10

Director Cornick Kenneth L. exits full stake: 607,057 shares sold for $15,197,310.12 over two days at $25.03 blended average

Director Kenneth L. Cornick sold his entire shareholding across two separate transactions on May 14–15, 2025, totaling 607,057 shares (607.1K shares) for $15,197,310.12 ($15.2M) at a blended average price of $25.03. This represents a complete exit from YOU (Clear Secure, Inc.), reducing his post-transaction holdings to zero shares. Cornick's prior trading history at this ticker shows a strong pattern: all 5 prior sales generated negative 90-day returns (-20.3%, -19.3%, -19.6%, -15.0%, -12.8%), meaning each prior sale preceded stock declines, establishing a 100% well-timed rate at YOU over his trading tenure. The current stock price of $24.63 is -35.9% from its 52-week high of $38.45, and the stock has declined -6.2% over the past 30 days despite a +9.3% gain over 90 days; fundamentally, the company reported $211.4M in quarterly revenue with +25.6% annual growth and a lean 12.25 P/E ratio, so this exit is not preceded by deteriorating operational performance. The complete liquidation at a moment when the stock trades below recent highs, combined with the insider's documented pattern of selling before declines at this specific ticker, warrants close investor attention to potential forward guidance or capital allocation signals.

Significance 7/10

President & CFO Kenneth L. Cornick sells entire 150.0K share position in YOU for $5.1M at $34.08; stock now at $35.49 (+71.6% in 90 days)

Kenneth L. Cornick, President & CFO of Clear Secure, Inc., executed a complete liquidation of his equity stake by selling 150,000 shares at $34.08 on 2024-10-11 for $5,112,000.00, reducing his holdings to 0 shares. This represents a -100.0% reduction in his shareholding. The transaction occurs within a volatile 90-day window in which the stock appreciated +71.6%, though the sale price $34.08 sits 1.4% below the current price of $35.49 and the 52-week high. Cornick's same-ticker trading pattern shows five prior sells within a six-week span (2024-08-29 through 2024-09-18), suggesting a systematic reduction of exposure rather than a discrete event. The underlying company shows strong momentum—annual revenue growth of +40.3% and a $3.1B market cap—but his complete exit from founder equity during a bull run merits investor attention.

Significance 8/10

President & CFO Cornick Kenneth L. liquidates entire 150,000-share stake in YOU for $4,956,000 on 2024-09-18

Cornick Kenneth L., President & CFO of Clear Secure, Inc., executed a complete exit of his equity position, selling 150,000 shares at $33.04 on 2024-09-18 for a total value of $4,956,000.00, reducing his holdings from 150,000 shares to 0 shares (-100.0% vs pre-transaction holdings). This represents a high-profile liquidation by a key executive following a strong 90-day price run of +75.2%. The prior 4 trades at YOU (all sales between 2024-08-29 and 2024-09-17) suggest a deliberate sell-off pattern over a concentrated timeframe, though outcome measurement for these recent trades is not yet available. The company is experiencing solid fundamentals with Annual revenue growth of +40.3%, net income of $24.1M on revenue of $186.7M, and a market cap of $2.9B, which contrasts with the volume and timing of this executive exit.

Significance 7/10

President & CFO Kenneth Cornick sold 250,000 shares of YOU at $32.30 for $8,075,000 on 2024-09-17; now holds zero shares.

Kenneth Cornick, President & CFO, liquidated his entire shareholding of 250,000 shares, reducing his holdings from 250,000 to 0 shares. This sale occurred at $32.30 per share, near the 52-week high of $32.87 and follows a sharp 90-day rally of +75.3%. The sale represents a complete exit by a C-level executive at a company with strong fundamentals: $186.7M quarterly revenue, +40.3% annual growth, and $24.1M net income. However, the timing coincides with the stock near peak valuation (52-week high), and prior same-ticker trades by Cornick in late August and early September have not yet accumulated measurable outcomes. The complete divestiture of stock by the company's CFO warrants investor attention as a material change in insider exposure.

$3,804,852
Significance 7/10

Clear Secure President & CFO Kenneth Cornick sold all 122,579 shares at $31.04, fully exiting $3.8M position

Kenneth Cornick, serving as President & CFO of Clear Secure, executed a complete liquidation of his equity stake by selling 122,579 shares at $31.04 on 2024-09-16, reducing his holdings from 122,579 shares to 0 shares. The transaction valued at $3,804,852.16 occurred as the stock was trading near its 52-week high of $32.59 and shortly after significant price appreciation: the stock had gained 17.0% over 30 days and 72.8% over 90 days prior to the sale. The pattern reveals a complete divestiture by a senior executive at a point of considerable valuation strength, following a sustained rally. Cornick's cross-ticker track record shows 4 prior sells across other positions, and his recent activity at Clear Secure includes four separate sales over the span 2024-08-29 through 2024-09-18, suggesting an intentional unwinding strategy rather than isolated opportunistic selling.

Significance 7/10

Clear Secure President & CFO Cornick sold 227,021 shares for $7.0M on 2024-09-09, exiting entire position (100.0% of holdings).

Kenneth L. Cornick, President & CFO of Clear Secure, Inc., liquidated his entire equity stake in a single open-market transaction, disposing of 227,021 shares for $7.0M at $31.05 on 2024-09-09. The sale represents a complete exit from all shareholdings, moving from 227,021 shares to 0 shares post-transaction. The company is growing revenue at +40.3% year-over-year with strong absolute metrics ($186.7M quarterly revenue, $24.1M net income), trading near recent highs at 35.82 P/E. This total departure by a senior operational executive warrants investor scrutiny given the company's strong growth profile and the magnitude of the position being eliminated.
