The sale of 30,000 Dave shares by Board of Directors member Andrea Mitchell was executed as part of her Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which she adopted in November of 2025. Such plans are commonly implemented by insiders to avoid accusations of making trades based on insider information.
That said, Mitchell’s disposition of over 80% of her direct holdings is cause for caution in approaching an investment in Dave. Her sale came at a time when Dave shares were on an upswing. The stock price exceeded $200 per share when she executed her transactions, which represented a rebound from closing at $155.92 per share on Feb. 5.
Dave stock got a boost in March after releasing strong 2025 financial results on March 2. Revenue rose 60% year over year to $554.2 million. Its latest artificial intelligence platform helped to boost financial performance for Dave’s underwriting activities.
The company’s 2025 net income also soared to $195.9 million compared to $57.9 million in 2024. This resulted in its price-to-earnings ratio falling to 16, around a low point for the past year, suggesting now is an opportunity to buy shares at a reasonable valuation if you are undeterred by aggressive insider selling.
For shareholders, now isn’t a bad time to sell given shares are up significantly from the 52-week low of $65.46 reached last April. But given Dave stock is volatile with a beta of about four, you can wait to see if shares rise higher.
