Jeremy Stoppelman, co-founder and CEO of Yelp (YELP), has sold $219.4 million in company stock across 556 transactions — and now holds zero shares. The Numbers MetricValue Career Sell Value$219.4M Career Buy Value$0 Total Transactions556 Last Transaction2026-02-02 Shares Remaining0 Recent Activity DateTypeSharesPriceEst. Value 2026-02-05Sell6,200$24.1961$150K 2026-02-04Sell600$25.3700$15K Stoppelman's most recent sales in early February 2026 followed a consistent exercise-and-sell pattern: options exercised at ~$20.47 per share were immediately sold at market prices around $24–$25, netting roughly $150K–$728K per batch. What It Means Stoppelman co-founded Yelp in 2004 and has served as CEO since inception. His systematic disposal of all equity — 556 transactions over his career — represents one of the most complete insider exits among active tech CEOs. The exercise-and-sell cadence suggests a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan rather than discretionary selling. For investors, a CEO holding zero shares in his own company is a notable signal. While 10b5-1 plans are routine, the totality of the exit — $219.4M with nothing retained — raises questions about long-term conviction. YELP shares have underperformed the broader market, and Stoppelman's complete divestiture adds to the bearish optics.
