Transaction details
On March 16, 2026, Mohan Ajit, Chief Business Officer of Snap Inc., sold 27,743 shares of Class A common stock for approximately $127,473. The shares were sold at prices ranging from $4.555 to $4.665 per share. Following the disposition, Ajit directly holds 5,130,734 shares of Snap.
Purpose of the sale
The company disclosed the sale was made to meet tax withholding obligations associated with the settlement and release of restricted stock units (RSUs). The sale therefore reflects a tax-related liquidity need rather than an explicitly stated change in investment stance.
Market backdrop
Snap's share price was trading close to its 52-week low of $4.52 at the time of the transaction, and the stock has declined about 45% over the past six months. Third-party analysis cited in company reporting places Snap on a Most Undervalued list, with an InvestingPro Fair Value estimate of $6.61. That analysis also notes that analysts expect Snap to return to profitability this year despite current losses.
Recent operating results
Snap released mixed fourth-quarter 2025 results, beating consensus on revenue and adjusted EBITDA. The quarter benefited from growth in Snapchat+ paid subscribers and improved monetization of Direct Response advertising. Snap's subscription business reached a notable milestone, surpassing 25 million subscribers.
