Insiders sold shares for taxes

Porch Group COO Matthew Neagle reported sales of 35,199 common shares across transactions on October 5 and 6, 2026, according to StockTitan. The sales covered tax withholding on vested restricted stock units and were made at the issuer's election.

The October 5 transaction covered 7,318 shares at a weighted average price of USD 16.8340. On October 6, two further transactions covered 15,153 and 12,728 shares at USD 17.3500 each, leaving Neagle with 1,864,881 directly held shares.

Q2 revenue beat expectations

Porch Group's second-quarter 2026 revenue reached USD 141 million against Wall Street's USD 122.21 million forecast, according to Investing.com. The same report said net income reached USD 6 million and adjusted EBITDA excluding reciprocal operations rose 150 percent year over year to USD 39 million.

The comparison gives the stock a measurable operating counterpoint to the insider activity. Written premiums grew 16 percent, while policies written increased 38 percent in the second quarter of 2026, according to Investing.com.
