Circle CPO Chandhok sells 26,666 shares at $83.75 via scheduled 10b5-1 plan; stock down 72.9% from 52-week high, company swung unprofitable despite 63.9% revenue growth.
Nikhil Chandhok, Chief Product & Tech. Officer, sold 26,666 shares of Circle Internet Group at $83.75 on 2026-06-08 as part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan, reducing his direct holdings from 548,475 to 521,809 shares while retaining 1,076,344 stock options. The sale occurs against a backdrop of severe stock underperformance: the share price is down 72.9% from its 52-week high of $298.99 and has declined 28.6% over the trailing 30 days. Circle's fundamentals present a mixed picture—revenue reached $694.1M in the latest quarter with annual growth of 63.9%, but the company turned unprofitable on a full-year basis despite this strong top-line expansion, signaling profitability challenges despite scale. Because this sale is scheduled under a 10b5-1 plan rather than discretionary, it reflects pre-set terms rather than real-time directional signaling; however, the context of depressed valuation and a profitability swing warrants monitoring of whether management confidence in the business turnaround aligns with its public guidance.
