Emanuel Ariel

TKO CEO Emanuel Ariel makes two open-market purchases totaling ~$2M, adding 10,805 shares as stock trades well below its 52-week high.

TKO Group Holdings CEO Emanuel Ariel made two open-market purchases on the same day, collectively representing a meaningful addition to his existing stake, while the stock sits notably below its 52-week high after declining over both the past month and the past quarter. This filing represents his sixth and seventh open-market purchases at TKO in the past three years — a consistent pattern of buying on the open market — and it coincides with a cluster window in which two additional insiders also made purchases within the same two-week period. TKO is a profitable company with strongly growing revenue and a premium valuation, which means the market is pricing in continued expansion, but the stock's recent weakness has created a lower entry point relative to its 52-week peak. However, investors should note that Ariel's five prior open-market purchases at TKO with measurable outcomes were all poorly timed at both the 30-day and 90-day horizons — in each case, the stock declined after he bought, both in the near term and over a longer stretch. That uniform track record of poor timing at this specific ticker is a meaningful counterweight to the positive optics of a CEO committing roughly $2 million of his own capital to shares in his own company.

CEO Emanuel Ariel bought 390,471 shares for $68,128,470.93 across 21 transactions Feb 10–12, raising stake 17.8%

Emanuel Ariel, CEO of TKO Group Holdings, executed 21 separate open-market purchases totaling 390,471 shares for $68,128,470.93 between February 10–12, 2025, at prices ranging from $167.14 to $177.60 and a blended average of $174.48. This represents a 17.8% increase to his holdings, raising them from 2,188,966 shares to 2,579,437 shares post-transaction. The current stock price of $176.64 is at the 52-week high, and the stock is up 24.1% over 30 days and 50.0% over 90 days. Notably, 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, establishing a cluster buy pattern. The company posted $681,273,000 in latest-quarter revenue with +46.9% annual revenue growth, but remains unprofitable on a full-year basis. This large-scale insider accumulation by the CEO during a period of strong stock momentum and alongside correlated insider activity warrants investor attention, particularly given the company's growth trajectory and capital allocation choice.

CEO Emanuel Ariel bought 331,850 shares (331.8K) for $54.2M at TKO over Feb 5-7; post-transaction holds 2,188,966 shares

Emanuel Ariel, Chief Executive Officer of TKO Group Holdings, executed 12 separate open-market purchases totaling 331,850 shares for $54,181,770.08 across three trading days (Feb 5–7, 2025), with prices ranging from $158.14 to $167.79 and a blended average of $163.27. This represents a +17.9% increase in his holdings, bringing his post-transaction position to 2,188,966 shares. The transaction occurred as TKO stock has appreciated 16.9% over the prior 30 days and 38.4% over 90 days, now trading at $166.37 near its 52-week high of $166.37. The CEO's immediate prior trades at TKO (5 buys within Feb 3–4) and the concurrent cluster buy by 2 other insiders within the past 14 days suggest coordinated accumulation during a period of significant upward momentum. Given the company's strong revenue growth (+46.9% year-over-year) and recent profitability challenges (full-year net income was negative despite quarterly net income of $23.1M), the volume and timing of this purchase warrants investor scrutiny of management's conviction relative to underlying financial trends.

CEO Emanuel Ariel bought 251,506 shares for $39,553,775.06 across Jan 31–Feb 4; +15.7% of prior holdings; stock near 52-week high.

Emanuel Ariel, Chief Executive Officer of TKO Group Holdings, executed 13 separate purchases totaling 251,506 shares for $39,553,775.06 between January 31 and February 4, 2025, at blended average price of $157.27. His post-transaction holdings reached 1,857,116 shares, representing a +15.7% increase from prior position of 1,605,610 shares. The timing coincides with stock trading near its 52-week high of $158.44 (current price $157.74 is -0.4% from peak) and reflects sustained momentum (+10.8% over 30 days, +31.2% over 90 days). A cluster pattern is present, with 2 other insiders also buying within the past 14 days. The company showed strong recent revenue growth of +46.9% year-over-year and latest quarterly revenue of $681,273,000.00, though full-year net income was negative despite latest quarter net income of $23,136,000.00. The absence of measurable outcomes from his 5 prior TKO purchases within the past days limits insight into tick-specific trading accuracy at this security.

CEO Emanuel Ariel buys 258,576 shares for $40.7M across 14 transactions (Jan 28–30); holdings rise 19.2% to 1.61M shares

Emanuel Ariel, Chief Executive Officer of TKO Group Holdings, Inc., executed 14 separate purchases totaling 258,576 shares for $40,711,198.53 over three consecutive trading days (January 28–30, 2025) at a blended average price of $157.44. This represents a 19.2% increase to his post-transaction holdings of 1,605,610 shares. The scale and intensity of this acquisition—spanning multiple price points from $154.98 to $159.53 across nearly $41 million in capital—is material. The company is trading near its 52-week high of $158.44 and has appreciated 10.8% over the past 30 days and 32.2% over 90 days, indicating sustained positive momentum. Notably, two other insiders also bought within the same 14-day window, forming a cluster buy pattern, though the company was unprofitable over its most recent full fiscal year despite strong 46.9% annual revenue growth.

CEO Ariel purchased 315,230 shares across 11 transactions for $47,998,599.81 in Jan 2025, raising holdings 30.6% to 1,347,034 shares.

Emanuel Ariel (CEO) executed 11 separate purchases totaling 315,230 shares for $47,998,599.81 across January 21–27, 2025, with transactions ranging from $147.87 to $153.96 per share. The accumulated purchases expanded his post-transaction holdings to 1,347,034 shares, a 30.6% increase from 1,031,804 shares held pre-transaction. The scale and intensity of this accumulation—$48.0M deployed over a concentrated seven-day window—is substantial for a CEO position. TKO stock has appreciated 6.6% over the 30-day window and 32.4% over 90 days, currently trading at $153.45 (at the 52-week high). The company posted annual revenue growth of +46.9% with recent quarterly revenue of $681,273,000.00, though it remains unprofitable on a full-year basis with net income of negative. A cluster pattern is present with 2 other insiders also buying within the past 14 days, indicating aligned directional positioning at the executive level.

CEO Emanuel Ariel bought 350,017 shares for $50.3M across 10 transactions Jan 17–22, raising stake 51.3% to 1.03M shares

Emanuel Ariel, Chief Executive Officer of TKO Group Holdings, executed 10 separate purchases totaling 350,017 shares for $50,281,339.86 (blended average $143.65) over a four-day window, significantly expanding his position by 51.3% from 681,787 to 1,031,804 shares. The scale and concentration of this accumulation — occurring when the stock trades at $142.93, down 2.9% from its 52-week high of $147.25 — stands against his cross-ticker track record in which 18 prior buys averaged a -2.0% 30-day return, and his same-ticker history at TKO shows 5 recent buys (Dec 16–17) all negative in their measurable 30-day periods. A cluster pattern is present: 2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days, though the company remains unprofitable on a full-year basis despite 46.9% annual revenue growth. The large magnitude and velocity of this CEO purchase warrant monitoring as an early indicator of insider positioning, though historical execution timing at this ticker does not yet support confidence in the price selection.

TKO CEO Emanuel Ariel buys 526,400 shares for $77.4M across 10 transactions on Dec 16-17, raising stake 338.8%.

Emanuel Ariel, TKO's Chief Executive Officer, executed 10 separate purchases totaling 526,400 shares for $77,403,283.70 on December 16–17, 2024, at prices ranging from $143.35 to $148.97 per share. This represents a 338.8% increase in his holdings (from 155,387 to 681,787 shares), the largest open-market accumulation event in his documented cross-ticker history. The transaction occurred while the stock was within 3.5% of its 52-week high ($147.25), yet the CEO proceeded with substantial scaled purchases across both days. Additionally, Ariel's cross-ticker track record shows 10 prior buys averaging a 90-day return of +17.6% with 100% win rate, though his same-ticker history at TKO remains immeasurable (5 recent buys on December 12–13 have not yet had observable 90-day outcomes). A cluster pattern also emerged: 2 other insiders bought within the past 14 days. The company posted $681.3M in latest-quarter revenue (46.9% annual growth), though it remains unprofitable on a full-year net-income basis, creating a mixed fundamental backdrop for such a large personal commitment by the CEO.

TKO CEO Emanuel Ariel buys 337,447 shares for $48.1M at blended avg $142.64 across 8 transactions (Dec 11–13); prior two TKO buys both +26%+ over 90 days.

Emanuel Ariel, CEO of TKO Group Holdings, executed 8 separate purchases totaling 337,447 shares for $48,133,382.35 over three days (December 11–13, 2024) at prices ranging from $141.98 to $143.95 per share. This largest purchase by the CEO in the filing history merits attention because Ariel's prior two purchases at TKO (April 2024 and November 2023) both delivered 90-day gains of +26.0% and +9.1% respectively, establishing a pattern of buy timing at this ticker. Current price of $141.92 sits 1.6% below the 52-week high of $144.16, yet the stock has advanced +20.5% over the past 30 days and +23.0% over 90 days, suggesting Ariel is accumulating during an already-strong momentum phase. The cluster activity—2 other insiders also bought within the past 14 days—reinforces board-level conviction. Against this strength, fundamentals present complexity: TKO's revenue grew +46.9% year-over-year to $681.3M (latest quarter), but the company reported negative net income over its most recent full fiscal year, indicating profitability headwinds despite top-line expansion.

CEO Emanuel Ariel sold 48.2K EDR shares at $29.04; stock now at 52-week high amid weak profitability

Emanuel Ariel sold 48,176 shares of Endeavor Group on 2024-10-08 at $29.04, reducing his holdings from 1,879,423 to 1,831,247 shares. The sale occurs while the stock trades at $29.23, matching its 52-week high, and marks the CEO's second consecutive sale within five days (following a 2024-09-24 sale), suggesting sustained share reduction activity. However, the company reported a net loss of $214,518,000 against revenue of $1,751,274,000, and the P/E of 24.56 reflects elevated valuation despite negative earnings. Prior sales at EDR have been poorly timed: none of the three measurable prior sales (August 2023) showed negative 90-day returns—instead the stock rose by approximately 2-3% in the months following each sale. This transaction overlaps with a derivative-conversion flag, indicating the CEO's actual position may extend beyond the Table I shares shown and should not be characterized as a full-position exit.
