Executive Chairman Ellin purchases 3,501 shares at $2.03 avg in 2 transactions; stock up 62.7% in 30d but unprofitable

Robert S. Ellin, Executive Chairman of PodcastOne, Inc., made 2 separate purchases totaling 3,501 shares at a blended average price of $2.03 during late November 2024, increasing his holdings from 165,930 to 169,431 shares. The company is unprofitable (net income of $-1.7M in the most recent quarter; full-year net income was negative) despite reporting annual revenue growth of +25.0%, making fundamental support for the stock limited. While PODC has appreciated 62.7% over the 30 days and 37.1% over the 90 days preceding this filing, Ellin's cross-ticker insider history shows 9 prior open-market buys averaging -29.2% returns at the 30-day mark. His prior trades at PODC itself (5 purchases between 2024-11-14 and 2024-11-22) remain outcome-unmeasurable, establishing no local timing pattern. The recent purchases at $2.03 came during a period of strong momentum, yet the company's persistent losses and the insider's poor historical buy timing both warrant attention to whether this accumulation reflects genuine conviction or follows into strength.

PODC Executive Chairman purchases 10,000 shares in 2 transactions totaling $19,000 at $1.88–$1.92

Robert S. Ellin, Executive Chairman of PodcastOne, Inc., completed 2 purchases totaling 10,000 shares for $19,000.00, raising his holdings from 155,930 to 165,930 shares. The transactions occurred on 2024-11-20 and 2024-11-22 at prices of $1.88 and $1.92, compared to a current price of $1.86 and a 52-week high of $2.52. At PODC specifically, Ellin has executed 5 prior buys within the last two months, including purchases on 2024-11-19, 2024-11-18, 2024-11-14, and 2024-11-13, with only the 2024-09-23 purchase measurable at the 30-day mark (returning -35.3%). His broader cross-ticker track record shows 7 prior buys with an average 30-day return of -29.2%, and none of his prior buys have been well-timed at the 90-day measurement. The company remains unprofitable (net income $-1.7M in the latest quarter) despite year-over-year revenue growth of +25.0%, and trades at a market cap of $45.5M.

Significance 4/10

Executive Chairman Robert Ellin bought 5,000 shares of PODC at $1.73; holds 155,930 after repeated buys in Nov despite -30.2% from 52-week high

Executive Chairman Robert Ellin purchased 5,000 shares at $1.73 on 2024-11-19, bringing his post-transaction holdings to 155,930 shares. This represents his third purchase in six days (prior buys on 2024-11-18 and 2024-11-14), and his fifth open-market buy at PODC since September. The stock currently trades at $1.76, down 30.2% from its 52-week high of $2.52, though it has appreciated 28.9% over the prior 30 days. Across his cross-ticker track record, Ellin's prior 6 open-market buys averaged a 30-day return of -29.2%, and his prior four measurable same-ticker purchases at PODC show 30-day losses of -35.3% and -27.9%, with no yet-measurable outcomes on the three most recent November buys. The company reported $-1.7M net loss on $12.2M quarterly revenue and operates unprofitably, though annual revenue growth stands at +25.0%.

Significance 3/10

Executive Chairman buys 5,000 PODC shares at $1.83; stock down -33.7% from 52-week high, company unprofitable.

ELLIN ROBERT S purchased 5,000 shares at $1.83, bringing his holdings to 150.9K shares. The purchase occurs when PODC trades at $1.67, down -33.7% from its 52-week high of $2.52, while the company generated $-1.7M net income on $12.2M quarterly revenue. His prior trades at PODC show a pattern of losses: a September buy is down -35.3% at 30 days, another down -27.9%, and a third down -24.5% (all 90-day outcomes not yet measurable). His cross-ticker track record across 5 prior buys averaged -29.2% 30-day returns. The stock has rebounded +22.3% over the last 30 days and +21.9% over 90 days from earlier lows, but his prior timing at this ticker has not yet produced a 90-day positive outcome. The transaction signals continued accumulation despite prior losses at this ticker and persistent unprofitability at the company.

Significance 4/10

Executive Chairman Robert S. Ellin bought 15,367 shares at $1.64–$1.79 for $26,006.93; holdings now 145,930 shares (+11.8%).

Robert S. Ellin, Executive Chairman, made 2 separate open-market purchases totaling 15,367 shares for $26,006.93 on 2024-11-13 and 2024-11-14, increasing his holdings by 11.8% to 145,930 shares at a blended average price of $1.69. The purchases occurred at prices ($1.64–$1.79) slightly below the current price of $1.81, and the stock has gained 31.2% over the prior 30 days. However, Ellin's prior trades at PODC (3 buys executed on 2024-09-19, 2024-09-20, and 2024-09-23) all showed negative 30-day returns ranging from -24.5% to -35.3%, and none of his prior open-market buys across all tickers were well-timed at the 90-day mark (averaging -29.2% return). The company is currently unprofitable (net income $-1.7M in the latest quarter) despite revenue growth of 25.0% year-over-year, and the stock remains 28.2% below its 52-week high of $2.52. The frequency of purchases and volume increase merit attention given the recent price momentum, but the insider's historical timing pattern and the company's negative earnings suggest caution.

Significance 4/10

PODC: Executive Chairman Ellin bought 17,000 shares at $1.89; stock -42.4% from 52-week high amid unprofitability.

Robert S. Ellin, Executive Chairman, purchased 17,000 shares of PodcastOne at $1.89 on 2024-09-20, increasing his holdings by +15.7% to 125,563 shares. The transaction occurred after the stock had declined 42.4% from its 52-week high of $3.16, though it has recovered +33.8% over the preceding 30 days. The company generated $13.2M in quarterly revenue but reported a $-1.4M net loss, with full-year results also negative. Ellin's prior two open-market buys across all tickers have not shown measurable positive outcomes at the 90-day mark, and his two immediately preceding purchases at PodcastOne (on 2024-09-19 and 2024-09-23) have no 90-day outcome data available yet. The purchase reflects accumulation at depressed levels, but the company's ongoing unprofitability and the insider's limited demonstrated success timing equity purchases elsewhere warrant monitoring of near-term results.

Significance 4/10

Executive Chairman Robert Ellin buys 5,000 PODC shares at $1.87, 3rd consecutive purchase in 4 days amid 33.8% 30-day rally.

Robert Ellin, Executive Chairman, purchased 5,000 shares at $1.87 on 2024-09-23, continuing a pattern of consecutive open-market buys—this represents his third purchase in four days (prior buys on 2024-09-19 and 2024-09-20). The purchases occur during a significant 30-day price recovery of +33.8%, following a backdrop where the stock trades 42.4% below its 52-week high and within a range of $1.28–$3.16. PodcastOne remains unprofitable with a negative $1.4M net income on $13.2M quarterly revenue, though the company shows 25.0% annual revenue growth. His post-transaction holdings of 130.6K shares represent a modest 4.0% increase from 125.6K, and his cross-ticker buy track record consists of only 2 prior trades, neither yet measurable at the 90-day mark for outcome validation at PODC. The consecutive buying pattern during a recovery phase and compressed valuation relative to the 52-week range warrants investor attention to near-term trading context versus fundamental inflection.

Significance 3/10

Executive Chairman Ellin bought 9,055 shares of PODC at $1.81 on 2024-09-19; stock now $1.88, -40.5% from 52-week high.

Executive Chairman Robert S Ellin purchased 9,055 shares at $1.81, increasing his holdings from 99,508 to 108,563 shares. The stock has recovered 30.2% from the transaction price (now $1.88) but remains 40.5% below its 52-week high of $3.16, suggesting the company faces longer-term valuation headwinds. PodcastOne is generating $13.2M in quarterly revenue with 25.0% annual growth, but remains unprofitable with a $-1.4M quarterly net loss, indicating that revenue expansion has not yet translated to profitability. This purchase represents the executive's first open-market transaction at this ticker, providing limited prior context for assessing his decision-making accuracy at PODC specifically.
