Analysis · KLAR · Finance
CEO Siemiatkowski Sebastian bought 692,506 shares for $9.95 million at $14.37 per share on August 26, two days after the stock's worst drop since February. The purchase came through Flat Capital AB, his investment vehicle, and lifts his total stake to 25.3 million shares. This is real money out of pocket — not an option exercise — and lands just days after Klarna cut full-year GMV guidance, suggesting the CEO is putting capital behind his view that the selloff overcorrected.
