The sale of 30,000 Dave shares was executed by board member Andrea Mitchell as part of her 10b5-1 business plan, which she approved in November 2025. Such plans are usually implemented by insiders to avoid accusations of insider trading.

That said, Mitchell’s more than 80% of its direct ownership is cause for caution in approaching an investment in Dave. Her sale came at a time when Dave’s shares were on the rise. The stock rose to more than $200 per share when it made its transactions, which represented a rebound from its close of $155.92 per share on February 5.

The company’s 2025 net income also increased to $195.9 million compared to $57.9 million in 2024.

For shareholders, now is not a bad time to sell given shares are significantly higher than the 52-week low of $65.46 last April. But given Dave’s stock is volatile with a beta of around four, you can wait to see if the shares rise.
