Significance 5/10

CTO Robert C. Murphy sells 343,945 SNAP shares at $5.88; stock now $5.76, -44.7% from 52-week high. Scheduled 10b5-1 plan.

Robert C. Murphy, Chief Technology Officer, executed a sale of 343,945 shares at $5.88 on 2026-05-29 under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-11-11, reducing his holdings by 6.5% to 4,963,581 shares. The current stock price of $5.76 is -44.7% from the 52-week high of $10.41, reflecting significant weakness in SNAP shares over the past year. SNAP remains unprofitable with a net income of $-88,951,000.00 against quarterly revenue of $1,528,791,000.00, and the stock has declined 8.4% over the past 30 days despite a 7.3% gain over 90 days. Because this sale is scheduled under a 10b5-1 plan rather than discretionary, the transaction reflects pre-committed execution rather than a real-time market decision by the executive.

Significance 4/10

CTO Murphy Robert C. executes scheduled 10b5-1 sales: 4.00M SNAP shares for $21.4M across two days.

Robert C. Murphy, Chief Technology Officer, executed two separate sales on 2026-05-13 and 2026-05-14, totaling 4,000,000 shares for $21,445,200.00 under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-11-11. Since this transaction is scheduled rather than discretionary, it reflects a planned capital allocation rather than a tactical market timing decision. Following the sales, Murphy retains 43,809,791 shares in SNAP, representing an 8.4% reduction from his pre-transaction holdings of 47,809,791 shares. Snap remains unprofitable with net income of $-88,951,000.00 against quarterly revenue of $1,528,791,000.00, and the stock trades at $5.53, down 46.9% from its 52-week high of $10.41.

Significance 6/10

CTO Murphy sells 2,000,000 SNAP shares across two dates (Feb 6–10) for $10,625,800 at $5.27 and $5.36; stock now -53.5% from 52-week high of $11.25

Murphy Robert C., Chief Technology Officer, filed 2 separate sales totaling 2,000,000 shares for $10,625,800.00 (blended average $5.31), reducing his holdings by 3.9% to 49,012,324 shares. The transactions occurred on 2026-02-06 ($5.27) and 2026-02-10 ($5.36), both well above the current price of $5.23. SNAP trades at -53.5% from its 52-week high of $11.25, reflecting a severe drawdown; the stock has declined 36.3% in 30 days and 42.5% in 90 days. Reviewing Murphy's prior trades at SNAP: his last 5 trades show 4 of 5 achieved negative 90-day returns, indicating a pattern of well-timed exits (80% timing success rate at this ticker). However, his cross-ticker track record shows an average 90-day return of -0.9% with a 71.43% well-timed rate, which is less pronounced. The company remains unprofitable (net income of -$103,541,000 on revenue of $1,506,839,000) despite 10.6% annual revenue growth, narrowing visibility into management's conviction about near-term value. The magnitude of this sale (2.00M shares) and its execution across two trading days during a period of significant stock weakness warrants scrutiny of broader company headwinds.

Significance 6/10

CTO Murphy sells 1.00M SNAP shares at $8.00 (post-trade 51.61M held); stock now at $9.09, +12.9% in 30d

Robert C. Murphy, CTO of Snap Inc, sold 1,000,000 shares at $8.00 on 2025-11-07, reducing his holdings from 52,613,777 to 51,613,777 shares. The $8.0M sale occurred at a price 11.0% below the current market price of $9.09, and the stock has risen 12.9% over the past 30 days and 28.4% over 90 days. At the same-ticker level, Murphy's 5 prior SNAP sales show mixed timing: 3 of 5 were well-timed at the 90-day mark (stock declined after sale), while 2 underperformed (stock rose post-sale). His cross-ticker track record shows 66.67% well-timed sales at the 90-day mark with an average 90-day return of +4.9% after sales, indicating generally average timing. Snap remains unprofitable (net income of -$103.5M in the latest quarter), though revenue grew 16.4% year-over-year, providing fundamental context for a discretionary insider sale by a top executive.

Significance 5/10

CTO Murphy sells 1,000,000 SNAP shares at $7.80; stock now $7.19, -44.1% from 52-week high.

Robert C. Murphy, Chief Technology Officer, sold 1,000,000 shares at $7.80 on 2025-08-07, reducing his holdings by 1.9% to 52,911,126 shares. The sale price of $7.80 was above the current price of $7.19 and reflects a period of significant weakness for Snap: the stock has fallen -44.1% from its 52-week high and declined -21.1% over the prior 30 days. At the same-ticker level, his prior 5 sales at Snap show mixed outcomes, with 3 of 5 well-timed at the 90-day mark and 2 poorly timed. Fundamentally, Snap faces headwinds: the company reported $-262,570,000.00 in net income over its most recent full fiscal year despite $1,344,930,000.00 in quarterly revenue and +16.4% annual growth, reflecting persistent unprofitability. The sale occurs within a context of depressed valuations and operational losses rather than a clear signal of insider confidence in near-term recovery.

Significance 6/10

Chief Technology Officer Murphy sold 1,000,000 shares (1.00M) of Snap at $8.03 on 2025-05-01; stock down -50.1% from 52-week high.

Murphy Robert C. sold 1,000,000 (1.00M shares) of Snap Inc at $8.03 on 2025-05-01, reducing his holdings by 1.8% while Snap stock trades -50.1% below its 52-week high of $17.14. At the same-ticker level, his prior three measurable sales at Snap produced mixed timing outcomes: two of three prior sells were well-timed at the 90-day mark (stocks fell afterward), but his 2024-08-06 sale was poorly timed (stock rose +39.5% in the following 90 days). His cross-ticker track record across all open-market sales shows a 66.67% well-timed rate with an average 90-day return of +8.6%, indicating his sells have historically preceded stock appreciation. Snap remains unprofitable (net income $-139.6M on revenue $1.4B) despite 16.4% annual revenue growth, setting a context of fundamental weakness even as the company expands top-line. Current price of $8.55 is only $0.52 above the transaction price, leaving limited directional signal at this point.

Significance 6/10

CTO Murphy sold 1,000,000 SNAP shares at $9.04 on 2025-03-11 (worth $9,037,200.00); stock now -51.2% from 52-week high.

Robert C. Murphy, Chief Technology Officer of Snap Inc, divested 1,000,000 shares at $9.04 per share for a total value of $9,037,200.00, reducing his holdings from 56,517,308 to 55,517,308 shares (a -1.8% reduction). The sale occurred as SNAP shares have declined sharply: the stock is currently -51.2% from its 52-week high of $17.14, -23.0% over the past 30 days, and -26.0% over the past 90 days. Notably, Murphy's cross-ticker track record shows 2 of 3 prior sells at SNAP were well-timed at the 90-day mark, with his cross-ticker 90-day well-timed rate of 66.67%. His same-ticker history at SNAP shows mixed timing—while the 2024-10-31 and 2024-04-29 sales preceded declines, the 2024-08-06 sale preceded a +39.5% gain—illustrating variability in outcome. The company remains unprofitable (net income of $-153,247,000.00 in the latest quarter), though revenue grew 16.4% year-over-year, adding fundamental pressure to evaluate whether the sale reflects operational concerns or portfolio management.

Significance 5/10

Snap CTO sells 1,000,000 shares at $12.50; stock down 30.5% from 52-week high of $17.45.

Robert C. Murphy, Snap's Chief Technology Officer, sold 1,000,000 shares (1.00M shares) at $12.50 on 2024-10-31, reducing his stake from 57.86M to 56.86M shares. The transaction occurred at a price significantly below Snap's 52-week range ($8.29–$17.45), specifically 30.5% below the 52-week high. Murphy's cross-ticker track record shows a 50.00% well-timed rate across 4 prior sells with avg 90d return +16.4%, but at Snap specifically his prior 2 measurable sales yielded mixed results (one well-timed at 90d with +39.5% return, one poorly timed at -6.6%). Snap remains unprofitable with net income of $-153,247,000.00 on $1,372,574,000.00 revenue and minimal annual growth (+0.1%), providing structural context for executive moves. The significance is moderate: the sale is material in absolute dollar value ($12.5M) and represents discretionary open-market activity by a senior executive, but the -1.7% reduction in his total holdings indicates continuation of a measured divestment pattern rather than a sharp change in position.

Significance 6/10

CTO Murphy sells 1.00M SNAP shares at $8.69; stock down 48.8% from 52-week high, company unprofitable with -248.6M net income

Murphy Robert C. sold 1,000,000 shares at $8.69 on 2024-08-06, reducing his holdings to 58,210,989 shares, a 1.7% reduction from his pre-transaction position. The current price of $8.94 is -48.8% from the 52-week high of $17.45, and the stock has declined 46.6% over the prior 30 days and 44.2% over the prior 90 days. At the same ticker (SNAP), Murphy's prior three sales show mixed timing outcomes: a 2023-10-26 sale was well-timed (90d +80.4%), a 2023-07-27 sale was poorly timed (90d -13.0%), and a 2024-04-29 sale was well-timed at the 90-day mark (90d -6.6%), with 2 of 3 prior SNAP sales being well-timed. Snap Inc's fundamentals remain weak, with revenue of $1,236,768,000.00 (latest quarter) and an annual revenue growth of +0.1%, while the company posted a net loss of $-248,620,000.00 for its most recent full fiscal year.
