Don't Ignore The Insider Selling In Blend Labs

Simply Wall St·06/20/2025 10:26:37
Listen to the news

We'd be surprised if Blend Labs, Inc. (NYSE:BLND) shareholders haven't noticed that the Co-Founder, Nima Ghamsari, recently sold US$405k worth of stock at US$3.38 per share. However, the silver lining is that the sale only reduced their total holding by 1.9%, so we're hesitant to read anything much into it, on its own.

Blend Labs Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

Notably, that recent sale by Nima Ghamsari is the biggest insider sale of Blend Labs shares that we've seen in the last year. So what is clear is that an insider saw fit to sell at around the current price of US$3.22. While insider selling is a negative, to us, it is more negative if the shares are sold at a lower price. Given that the sale took place at around current prices, it makes us a little cautious but is hardly a major concern.

Does Blend Labs Boast High Insider Ownership?

I like to look at how many shares insiders own in a company, to help inform my view of how aligned they are with insiders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. Blend Labs insiders own about US$49m worth of shares. That equates to 5.9% of the company. We've certainly seen higher levels of insider ownership elsewhere, but these holdings are enough to suggest alignment between insiders and the other shareholders.

What Might The Insider Transactions At Blend Labs Tell Us?

An insider sold Blend Labs shares recently, but they didn't buy any. And there weren't any purchases to give us comfort, over the last year. Insiders own shares, but we're still pretty cautious, given the history of sales. We'd practice some caution before buying! So these insider transactions can help us build a thesis about the stock, but it's also worthwhile knowing the risks facing this company.
