The Chairman's large sale at $40+ contrasts with CFO and 10% owner buying at ~$35, creating a mixed signal. The historical track record of bullish calls on GSHD has been poor (avg -8.6% at T+20). Watch for any 8-K or earnings pre-announcement in the next 2 weeks — the Chairman's sale could be liquidity-driven, but the size warrants monitoring.
Price Chart
Executive Summary
Goosehead Insurance insiders showed mixed activity over the past week. The CFO and a 10% owner made open-market purchases totaling ~$274K, while the Executive Chairman's trust sold ~$2.1M worth of shares (including a large $1.8M sale on May 26) alongside non-cash derivative conversions. The net dollar value of sales ($2.1M) far exceeds purchases ($274K), but the purchases by the CFO and a 10% owner at prices below the Chairman's sale price suggest some insiders see value at current levels.
Key Financial Metrics
Key Facts
- CFO Martin John Arthur purchased 5,000 shares at $34.73 for $173,650 on May 28.

- Total open-market purchases ($273K) are ~0.02% of market cap.
- Historical performance on GSHD reports is poor: avg T+20 P&L of -8.57% with a 17% win rate.
Financial Impact
Net insider selling of ~$1.8M (sales minus purchases) represents ~0.15% of market cap — modest but notable given the Chairman's large sale.
Risk Factors
- Chairman's $1.8M sale may signal reduced conviction at higher prices.
- Historical GSHD reports show a strong negative drift (avg -8.6% T+20) — this cluster may not be a reliable bullish signal.
- The CFO's purchase is small relative to the Chairman's sale — insider buying is not overwhelming.
