Arlo Technologies reported a notable insider transaction this month when Chief Executive Officer Matthew Blake Mcrae sold 153,433 shares of common stock on March 12, 2026, for about $2.1 million, according to a Form 4 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The filing also shows that Mcrae acquired 288,824 shares on March 10, 2026, through the exercise of performance stock units (PSUs). Those PSUs converted into common stock at a price of $0, increasing his direct holdings.

Recent financial performance and corporate actions

Separately from the insider activity, Arlo released its fourth-quarter 2025 financial results, which exceeded analyst expectations.

Revenue for the quarter reached $141.3 million, topping the anticipated $133.95 million — a 5.49% surprise.

In a further capital-allocation move, Arlo's board has authorized a share repurchase program of up to $50 million. The repurchase plan will be executed through open market purchases and is authorized to run through December 31, 2027.
