Salgado Diego Ventura, CFO and IR Officer at StoneCo Ltd. (STNE), bought 22,490 shares at $9.66 ($217K) on 2026-05-15, disclosed to the SEC on 2026-05-19.
CFO Salgado Diego Ventura purchased 11,610 shares for $112k on May 15, marking the largest purchase of his career. This move comes as the stock has crashed 37% over the last 90 days, potentially signaling a contrarian bet on the beaten-down fintech.
The stock is currently trading at $10.29, down 37.45% over the last 90 days and sitting 43.43% below its 52-week high of $18.19.
Catalysts include the Q1 2026 earnings beat on May 20, where revenue exceeded analyst estimates, and the announcement of an extraordinary dividend on May 25. Additionally, the insider's purchase is the largest of his career, signaling confidence despite the stock's 37% decline over the last 90 days.
The stock faces significant risk with a short interest of 10.38% of the float, and management acknowledged that NPLs (non-performing loans) came in above expectations during the May 19 earnings call.
Clearly above the average filing.
