Arun Pattabhiraman, Sprinklr, Inc.(NYSE:CXM) Chief Marketing Officer, executed a sale of 32,500 shares of Class A common stock on March 16, 2026, according to a Form 4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The disposition was carried out across multiple trades with execution prices spanning $5.765 to $5.91, inclusive.

Market context in the filing notes that CXM was trading at $5.98, reflecting a 27% decline over the prior six months and trading near a 52-week low of $5.12.

Separately, company results for fiscal fourth-quarter 2026 showed an earnings per share of $0.13, ahead of a consensus forecast of $0.09. Revenue for the quarter reached $220.6 million, topping an anticipated $215.51 million. Those results were cited as evidence of solid near-term operational performance.

Analyst reactions have been mixed. Citizens retained a Market Outperform rating but lowered its price target from $17.00 to $11.00, noting that Sprinklr said its three-phase transformation is taking longer than initially expected, and it does not foresee a material reacceleration in growth before fiscal year 2028. DA Davidson trimmed its price objective to $6.50 from $9.00 and maintained a Neutral rating, pointing out that although revenue and profitability exceeded expectations, the company guidance for fiscal 2027 was below consensus estimates.
