Klarna CEO Buys $10M in Stock Days After 23% Guidance-Led Plunge
KLAR sits 21% above its 52-week low of $12.06.
Summary
CEO Sebastian Siemiatkowski bought 692,506 shares for $9.95 million at $14.37 per share on August 26, just days after Klarna's stock fell 23% on a cut to full-year revenue guidance. The purchase, disclosed in a Form 4 filing, is a direct signal of insider confidence following the sharp selloff. This follows the company's surprise Q2 profit and the subsequent guidance reduction that triggered the worst daily drop since February. The buy is modest relative to the CEO's holdings but notable for its timing and size.
