According to a regulatory filing on July 11, 2025, CEO Wai Conrad sold 15,203 shares of Class A Common Stock on July 8 for a total of approximately $49,561. The transactions were made at prices ranging from $3.25 to $3.27 per share. While the sale was conducted under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which allows insiders to sell a predetermined number of shares at a predetermined time, the news can still create unease among investors. Insider selling, even when planned, is often scrutinized by the market for any signals about a company's future prospects, contributing to negative pressure on the stock price. The stock market overreacts to news, and big price drops can present good opportunities to buy high-quality stocks. Is now the time to buy Clover Health?

In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful but not something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. Clover Health is down 7.2% since the beginning of the year, and at $2.91 per share, it is trading 39.7% below its 52-week high of $4.82 from January 2025. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Clover Health's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $261.71. Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we've identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link.
