Significance 3/10

AppLovin CTO Vasily Shikin sold 2,889 shares for $1,412,419.40 via scheduled 10b5-1 plan; stock now +23.4% in 30d

Vasily Shikin executed 8 separate sales totaling 2,889 shares for $1,412,419.40 on 2026-05-22, reducing his holdings from 20,834 to 17,945 shares (-13.9%). This sale was conducted under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-12-09, meaning the transaction was scheduled rather than discretionary. The blended average sale price of $488.90 contrasts with the current price of $567.83; APP has risen +23.4% in the 30 days following the sale. Shikin's cross-ticker track record shows prior sells averaging +4.7% returns over 90 days, and his 5 prior sales at APP on 2026-03-10 similarly showed positive subsequent 90-day performance (range +1.5% to +6.1%), suggesting a historical pattern where post-sale price appreciation follows his sales. The scheduled nature of this transaction prevents attribution to insider timing or conviction shifts.

Significance 4/10

CTO Vasily Shikin sells 15,915 shares at blended average $483.99 via pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan (scheduled, not discretionary)

Vasily Shikin sold 15,915 shares across 30 separate transactions on 2026-05-22 for $7,702,631.88, reducing his holdings by 43.3% to 20,834 shares. The transaction is part of a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-12-09, meaning it was scheduled in advance and not a discretionary decision made in response to current market conditions. His prior trades at APP show consistent 30-day post-sale declines (ranging from -21.8% to -25.1%), though this scheduled trade structure removes timing intentionality from the equation. With the stock currently trading at $567.83 against his blended sale price of $483.99, the shares have appreciated significantly since execution, but this retrospective comparison is not actionable given the pre-arranged nature of the sales.

Significance 5/10

CTO Vasily Shikin sold 70,916 shares ($34.3M) via 30 scheduled transactions under 10b5-1 plan on 2026-05-22

Vasily Shikin, Chief Technology Officer, executed 30 separate sales totaling 70,916 shares for $34,346,827.60 on 2026-05-22 under a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-12-09. The sales reduced his holdings from 89,721 shares to 18,805 shares, a net change of -79.0% vs pre-transaction holdings. This is a scheduled transaction, not a discretionary sale. Current price stands at $567.83, with the stock up 23.4% over 30 days and 27.6% over 90 days, in a 52-week range of $320.00–$745.61. The blended average transaction price across all 30 sales was $484.33.

Significance 7/10

APP CTO sold 68.0K shares (68.9% of holdings) across 30 transactions for $33.0M on 2026-03-10; stock down 38.8% from 52-week high.

Shikin Vasily, AppLovin's Chief Technology Officer, executed 30 separate sales totaling 68,035 shares for $33,047,343.02 on a single day, reducing his holdings from 98,693 shares to 30,658 shares. The sales span a narrow price range (blended average $485.74) with the current stock price at $449.33, representing a 38.8% decline from the 52-week high of $733.60 and a 33.0% drop over the past 90 days. The large magnitude of this liquidation—nearly 69% of his pre-transaction stake—on a day the stock closed below its recent trading range, combined with the pattern of multiple tranches at incrementally rising prices, warrants investor attention to whether this reflects a discretionary capital decision or scheduled activity per any trading plan. Investors should monitor whether this sale foreshadows broader management concerns about AppLovin's growth trajectory, particularly given the company's recent 90-day decline despite strong fundamentals (Revenue $1,405,045,000.00, Net income $835,545,000.00, and 16.4% annual revenue growth).

Significance 6/10

AppLovin CTO Shikin Vasily sold 9,265 shares across 30 transactions for $4,505,625.69 on 2026-03-10, reducing holdings by 23.4%.

Shikin Vasily, Chief Technology Officer of AppLovin Corp, executed 30 separate sales totaling 9,265 shares for $4,505,625.69 on March 10, 2026, at prices ranging from $474.17 to $514.43. The blended average sale price of $486.31 stands notably above the current price of $449.33, representing a 52-week high of $733.60 followed by a recent 90-day decline of -33.0% and 30-day decline of -5.0%. This substantial single-day disposition—reducing his position from 39,630 shares to 30,365 shares—occurred at valuations that have since compressed significantly. The multi-transaction structure and wide price distribution across the day suggest a systematic execution rather than a single-tranche decision, though the outcome timing relative to the subsequent stock deterioration warrants investor attention to what may have prompted the CTO-level activity during a period of price weakness.

Significance 6/10

APP CTO Shikin Vasily sells 6,531 shares for $3,193,984.83 across 30 transactions on 2026-03-10; stock down 38.8% from 52-week high.

Shikin Vasily, Chief Technology Officer at AppLovin Corp, executed 30 separate sales on 2026-03-10 totaling 6,531 shares for $3,193,984.83, reducing his holdings from 39,337 shares to 32,806 shares (-16.6%). The blended average transaction price was $489.05, yet the current price is $449.33, meaning the insider is now underwater on this sale. More broadly, AppLovin stock has declined 38.8% from its 52-week high of $733.60 and 5.0% over the past 30 days. The company reports strong fundamentals—$1.4B in latest quarterly revenue, $835.5M net income, and 16.4% annual revenue growth—suggesting the stock price weakness is not driven by operational distress. Without prior measurable outcomes at this ticker, and given that Shikin has 20 prior sells across all tickers, this large multi-tranche liquidation merits observation for whether it reflects a material change in his personal financial position or strategic reassessment of his AppLovin stake relative to company fundamentals.

Significance 6/10

AppLovin CTO Shikin Vasily sold 5,685 shares for $2,790,708.01 across 30 transactions on 2026-03-10

Shikin Vasily, Chief Technology Officer at AppLovin Corp, executed 30 separate sales totaling 5,685 shares for $2,790,708.01 on 2026-03-10, reducing his holdings from 32,806 shares to 27,121 shares (a -17.3% reduction). The sales occurred at prices ranging from $478.11 to $512.31, with a blended average price of $490.89, which is 9.2% above the current price of $449.33 and substantially above the 52-week low of $219.37 but well below the 52-week high of $733.60. The granular distribution across 30 separate transactions at incrementally rising prices suggests a structured execution rather than a single opportunistic sale. With APP trading 38.8% below its 52-week high and down 33.0% over 90 days despite the company reporting strong fundamentals (annual revenue growth of +16.4%, net income of $835,545,000.00, and a P/E of 33.16), the timing of this sale—executed while the stock was in a pronounced downtrend—aligns with the price weakness rather than precedes it, as the SAME-TICKER HISTORY shows all 5 prior APP trades at this insider remain at the measurement threshold with outcomes not yet measurable.

APP CTO Shikin Vasily sold 27,143 shares for $14,803,140.93 across 30 transactions on 2025-11-24.

Shikin Vasily, AppLovin's Chief Technology Officer, executed 30 separate sales totaling 27,143 shares for $14,803,140.93 on 2025-11-24, at a blended average price of $545.38. The sale reduced his holdings from 3,350,824 shares to 3,323,681 shares, representing a -0.8% net reduction in his position. The stock is currently trading at $586.37, approximately 7.5% above the transaction prices, and the 90-day price change stands at +21.2%, suggesting the stock has appreciated significantly in the period surrounding this sale. With 20 prior open-market sells across all tickers in his cross-ticker track record and 5 prior transactions at APP, the insider retains substantial holdings at the company. The multi-tranche structure and timing amid strong recent price momentum warrant monitoring of any subsequent insider activity or public statements regarding AppLovin's strategic direction.

Significance 6/10

CTO Shikin Vasily sold 10,242 shares of APP for $5.6M across 30 transactions on 2025-11-24 at blended average $544.17

Shikin Vasily, Chief Technology Officer, executed 30 separate sales totaling 10,242 shares for $5,573,433.79 on 2025-11-24, reducing his holding from 56,246 shares to 46,004 shares (an 18.2% reduction). The multi-tranche execution across a tight price range ($524.54–$564.21) reflects a systematic liquidation pattern. While the blended average sale price of $544.17 sits 7.2% below the current price of $586.37, the CTO's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior open-market sells, and his same-ticker history at APP is limited (5 prior trades with no yet-measurable outcomes). The stock has gained 21.2% over 90 days and trades at a P/E of 70.14 with annual revenue growth of 43.4%, suggesting the company remains in a high-valuation growth phase. The concentration of sales on a single day and the magnitude of the disposal warrant scrutiny into its underlying motivation.

Significance 6/10

AppLovin CTO Vasily Shikin sold 14,867 shares (23.4% of holdings) for $8,131,243.94 on 2025-11-24.

Shikin executed 30 separate sales totaling 14,867 shares for $8,131,243.94 at a blended average price of $546.93, reducing his holdings from 63,504 to 48,637 shares. This represents a substantial single-day divestiture of nearly one-quarter of his APP position. The stock currently trades at $586.37, representing an 18.4% decline from the 52-week high of $718.54, though it has appreciated 21.2% over the past 90 days. Shikin's cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells, though timing outcomes at APP specifically cannot yet be measured given the recent transaction date. The company's fundamentals remain strong with $1.4B quarterly revenue, $835.5M net income, and 43.4% annual revenue growth, though the elevated P/E of 70.14 against a $198.5B market cap reflects stretched valuation assumptions.
