On August 17, Snap Inc fell over 5% in regular trading. On the news front, Snap CTO, board member, and 10% stakeholder Robert C. Murphy recently sold 4 million Class A common shares valued at approximately $21.6 million. The sales occurred on August 5 and August 6, with 2 million shares sold each day at weighted average prices of $5.555 and $5.2512 respectively. The transactions were executed pursuant to a 10b5-1 plan adopted in November 2025 and amended in February 2026.
Notably, Snap had reported Q2 results on August 4 that exceeded expectations, with revenue growing 19% year-over-year to $1.6 billion and adjusted EBITDA of $250 million surpassing market estimates. The stock had initially surged over 13% following the earnings release, making the timing of the CTO's large-scale disposal particularly conspicuous to investors despite its pre-planned nature.
