Significance 4/10

Significance 4/10

TTD Chief Strategy Officer Jacobson sells 4,297 shares for $513.3K at $119.46 avg; stock down -15.4% in 30d, -15.6% from 52-week high.

Jacobson executed 6 separate sales totaling 4,297 shares for $513,316.34 on 2024-12-30, reducing her holdings by 4.5% to 90,709 shares. The blended average sale price of $119.46 is now $1.73 above the current price of $117.73, placing the stock -15.4% below its 30-day level and -15.6% from its 52-week high of $139.51. Her prior sales at TTD (five on 2024-11-29) all showed negative 30-day returns ranging from -5.7% to -5.1%, continuing a pattern of sales followed by weakness. However, this sale occurred at elevated prices relative to fundamentals—the company reports strong growth with +23.3% annual revenue expansion and $94.2M quarterly net income, yet carries a P/E of 318.19. The timing and scale of this transaction warrant monitoring given the recent price decline and prior sell pattern, though the modest 4.5% position reduction leaves substantial retained ownership (90.7K shares).

Significance 5/10

Chief Strategy Officer Jacobson sells 21,162 shares at $99.50 for $2.1M; cross-ticker timing pattern shows 0% well-timed rate on prior sells.

Samantha Jacobson, Chief Strategy Officer at Trade Desk, executed 5 separate sales totaling 21,162 shares for $2,105,619.00 at $99.50 per share on 2024-08-12, reducing her holdings by -16.4% from 129,201 to 108,039 shares. The transaction occurred near the stock's 52-week high of $101.52 (only 2.8% below), and at a price $0.81 above the current market price of $98.69. Examining her cross-ticker track record across 4 prior open-market sells, Jacobson achieved a 90-day well-timed rate of 0.00%, with an average 90-day return of +16.8% after those sales—indicating the stock typically rose following her prior exits, making her historical sales poorly timed. Her same-ticker history at TTD shows an identical pattern: 4 prior sells on 2024-02-20, each followed by positive 90-day returns (ranging +1.4% to +17.0%), with a timing pattern of 0 of 4 being well-timed. The company's fundamentals show strong growth (revenue +23.3% annually, net income $85,029,000) but a very elevated P/E of 266.73, creating a valuation context in which the timing of large insider sales becomes material for investors to monitor.
