Top insider trades (Mon, Jun 1)

Connor’s Commentary

OKTA led the way for software on Friday, finishing the day up 30%.

It is now up 60% since we added it to the CEO Watcher Portfolio on April 21st. It’s back up to its 5y median EV/S multiple.

Here are the notes we shared with CEO Watcher Premium subs.

Today’s Largest Unscheduled Trades

There were 229 new insider trades filed.

We looked at two very interesting insider purchases at companies with strong tailwinds (an AI-winner and GLP-1s), but passed on both. Weight Watchers (WW) is coming out of restructuring and focusing on GLP-1s, but their customer acquisition costs are high, and their product is more expensive.

Curiosity Stream (CURI) could see some near-term momentum because the CEO is buying, and they may be branded an “AI-winner” as they license their content to the AI labs. However, the licensing revenue is lumpy, the percentage of the revenue that is non-cash barter is increasing, and they are coming up against harder comps next Q. Probably works near-term as a swing trade, but I’d be worried about that licensing rev (though the CEO is buying, which is a positive sign)

Our system gave 4 insider purchases high scores (I shared our system’s notes on those in the High Scoring Purchases - Quick Notes).

We also found 4 insider purchases from insiders who average 20%+ 1y returns.

CEO Watcher Premium subs can see those notes in later sections of this email.
