Strong demand drove Lindblad's Q2 revenue up 19%, flipping operating income to a $12 million gain from $4.4 million a year ago. The capital structure got a clean-up in February when mandatory conversion of preferred stock erased a potential $88 million repurchase obligation. Yet the filing also flags that director Sven-Olof Lindblad put a 10b5-1 plan in place to sell as many as 1.5 million shares, extending a pattern of insider selling that has topped $4 million in open-market sales over the past 90 days. With the stock near its 52-week high, the selling may be opportunistic, but the mix of robust operational momentum and continued insider distribution leaves a nuanced picture.
