Justyn Russell, who serves as Executive Chair of Sprout Social, Inc. (NASDAQ:SPT), completed a sale of company shares on June 2, 2026. Specifically, he sold 11,641 shares of the company’s Class A Common Stock. The execution price for these shares was $7.746 per share, resulting in a total transaction value of $90,171.
The sale was not an immediate disposition but rather was conducted following an irrevocable election made on November 29, 2024. This action complied with the requirements set forth by Rule 10b5-1. The underlying purpose for establishing this specific plan was to cover tax obligations that would arise upon the settlement of restricted stock units (RSUs).
The timing of this insider transaction is viewed against the current market context for Sprout Social’s stock. While NASDAQ:SPT traded at $7.23, representing a 64% decline over the past year, the company has shown recent resilience, with shares rebounding by 18% within the previous week. Furthermore, an analysis provided by InvestingPro suggests that the stock may currently be undervalued, pointing to significant potential upside based on its calculated Fair Value.
The financial profile of Sprout Social remains a key area of focus. The company maintains a reported market capitalization of $435 million and reports impressive gross profit margins reaching 77%. This strong margin figure provides insight into the operational efficiency of the platform.
Following this recent sale, Mr. Russell’s direct holdings in Class A Common Stock amount to 250,735 shares. This total includes multiple categories of vested equity: 21,332 RSUs are set to vest across three equal quarterly installments; an additional 51,942 RSUs are slated to vest over seven equal quarterly installments; and a further 75,274 RSUs will vest through eleven equal quarterly installments. All these vesting schedules for the RSUs are scheduled to commence on September 1, 2026. It is important to note that each RSU represents the contingent right to receive one share of Class A Common Stock.
Mr. Russell's total holdings also include several indirect shares through various trusts. These assets comprise 7,417 shares of Class A Common Stock and a substantial holding of 1,481,190 shares of Class B Common Stock. He serves as a trustee in the JRH Revocable Trust and the EEH Gift Trust, among other trusts where his spouse also functions as a trustee, which account for these indirect holdings. Separately, Mr. Russell directly holds 518,874 shares of Class B Common Stock.
A key structural detail regarding the different share classes is that each share of Class B Common Stock does not possess independent economic rights but grants its holder voting power equivalent to 10 votes per share. Furthermore, these Class B shares are fully exchangeable at any time on a one-for-one basis for Class A Common Stock.
