The Chairman's large unplanned sales after a positive earnings report and raised guidance raise a caution flag. Monitor for any subsequent insider filings or corporate disclosures that might explain the selling. The director's purchases provide a partial counterweight but are too small to offset the signal from the Chairman's sales.

Executive Summary
AudioEye's Executive Chairman and CPO David Moradi sold $2.4M of stock over four days (Oct 30-Nov 3), while Director James Hawkins bought $128K over three days (Oct 29-Nov 4). The cluster follows the company's first GAAP-profitable quarter (Q3 2026) and a raised guidance, making the insider sales notable despite the director's purchases.
Key Financial Metrics
Key Facts
- Executive Chairman and CPO David Moradi sold 177,641 shares for $2.4M (open-market, no 10b5-1 plan) on Oct 30-Nov 3.
- Director James Hawkins bought 10,000 shares for $128K (open-market) on Oct 29-Nov 4.
- Total insider open-market sales of $2.4M represent 1.4% of AudioEye's $169M market cap.
- Sales occurred 8-14 days after AudioEye reported Q3 2026 revenue of $11.0M (+7% YoY), first GAAP net income of $1.0M, and raised full-year adjusted EBITDA guidance to $13.4M-$13.6M.
Financial Impact
Insider sales of $2.4M (1.4% of market cap) by the Executive Chairman and CPO, partially offset by $128K in director purchases.
Risk Factors
- Executive Chairman's $2.4M open-market sales (1.4% of market cap) without a 10b5-1 plan could signal reduced conviction despite strong quarterly results.
- Director purchases of only $128K are insufficient to neutralize the bearish signal from the Chairman's much larger sales.
- No disclosed reason for the sales; potential undisclosed concerns about valuation or business outlook.
