Two company insiders sold stock on March 25, as analysts continued to cut price targets following last week’s earnings report.

Director Ana Pinczuk sold 32,396 units at $13.37 per unit, a total of roughly $433,134. The transaction reduced her position by 5.09%, leaving her with 603,650 units valued at around $8.07 million.

On the same day, Interim CFO Barry Padgett sold 32,221 units at the same price, totaling approximately $430,794. The company said the sale was mandated to cover tax withholding obligations — a common arrangement tied to vesting equity awards.

Padgett had also received 92,662 units on March 23 at no cost, related to the first tranche of a performance-based restricted stock unit award vesting.

Earnings Beat, But Stock Pressure Continues

SentinelOne reported Q4 results on March 12. EPS came in at $0.07, beating the consensus estimate of $0.06 by a penny. Revenue was $271.15 million, up 20.3% year-over-year and roughly in line with the $271.18 million expected.

Oppenheimer held the most bullish post-earnings view, cutting from $20.00 to $18.00 while keeping an “outperform” rating.

Positive Developments on the Business Side

Away from the stock pressure, SentinelOne has been active on the partnership front. The company expanded its collaboration with Google Cloud, aiming to combine its endpoint detection tech with Google Cloud’s infrastructure and threat intelligence tools.
