  At 125,429 shares, the sale is more than double Weingarten's recent-period median open-market sale (60,864 shares) and well above the long-term median (21,697 shares), reflecting a larger proportional reduction as direct holdings have diminished.

  The transaction reduced Weingarten's direct stake by 10.3%, leaving 1,093,108 Class A shares and an estimated 0.33% ownership of outstanding equity, with no indirect holdings remaining; the reduction continues a multi-year trend of material divestments.
• Were derivative securities or options involved in this disposition?
  Yes, the disposition followed a conversion of a derivative security into Class A common stock, as reflected in the derivative context; however, the sale itself was a direct, open-market transaction with no options exercised for cash or immediate sale.

  The weighted average sale price was $15.09 per share, with shares priced at $14.84 at the market close on Dec. 11, 2025; this level reflects a one-year change of -38.70%, placing the sale amid a period of declining equity value for SentinelOne.

What this transaction means for investors

Weingarten, who is also a co-founder of SentinelOne, executed the trade in line with his pre-approved stock trading plan. Following the sale, he directly owns almost 1.1 million Class A shares, besides 423,000 shares he holds indirectly through a trust.

Moreover, he holds the option to exchange an additional 4.1 million Class B shares for Class A stock, contingent upon specific terms.

In short, the CEO and president is deeply invested in the business as an owner.

SentinelOne hasn’t had the best of times over the last four years. The stock is down a massive 80% since its late-2021 peak -- after its euphoric IPO a few months earlier.

Among the bigger concerns Street analysts raised in the company’s third quarter earnings call was its weak annual recurring revenue (ARR) growth expectations, despite strong bookings.

The revenue growth rate has been declining after reaching three-figure percentage numbers in 2021 and 2022. Over the last few quarters, the top-line growth rate has fallen to the early and mid-twenties, signifying difficulty in growing.

Meanwhile, management assures that ARR remains solid overall and shouldn’t be the only marker of genuine growth.

SentinelOne stock trades at five times trailing 12-month sales and 3.2 times its book value. This means the market is still looking at this space with optimism.

One thing is certain: demand for cybersecuruty solutions are going to abound. If you're willing to be patient with the stock over significantly longer time periods, this could become a winner.
