Lindblad Expeditions insider Sven-Olof sold 183,639 shares across two days for roughly $3.07 million under a Rule 10b5-1 plan. The disposals leave him with 11,172,779 shares. The transactions come after the company reported third-quarter 2025 revenue ahead of expectations but an earnings-per-share shortfall, and announced a mandatory conversion of its 6.0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into about 9.0 million common shares on February 3, 2026. Analysts have reiterated and raised price targets amid reported increased institutional interest.

Key Points

  • Insider Sven-Olof sold 183,639 shares under a Rule 10b5-1 plan on Jan. 29-30, 2026, for about $3.07 million.
  • Lindblad reported Q3 2025 revenue of $240.2 million, topping forecasts of $230.3 million, but posted EPS of $0.00 versus an expected $0.19.
  • All 6.0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock will mandatorily convert into roughly 9.0 million common shares on Feb. 3, 2026; analysts from Benchmark and Stifel maintained or raised Buy ratings and price targets.

Director and 10% owner Sven-Olof executed a two-day disposal of Lindblad Expeditions Holdings Inc (NASDAQ:LIND) common stock on January 29 and January 30, 2026, selling a total of 183,639 shares for approximately $3.07 million.

The sales were carried out under a Rule 10b5-1 trading arrangement and comprised two separate transactions. On January 29, 105,356 shares were sold at a weighted average price of $16.8405 per share, with individual sale prices ranging from $16.50 to $17.05. On January 30, a further 78,283 shares changed hands at a weighted average price of $16.6594, with prices in that tranche spanning $16.42 to $16.82.

Following these dispositions, Sven-Olof retains direct ownership of 11,172,779 shares of Lindblad Expeditions Holdings common stock.


These insider transactions arrive amid recent corporate updates. Lindblad reported third-quarter 2025 revenue of $240.2 million, above analysts' consensus of $230.3 million. Despite the top-line beat, the company recorded earnings per share of $0.00, missing the $0.19 per-share estimate.

Further capital-structure activity is scheduled. The company has announced the mandatory conversion of all outstanding 6.0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into approximately 9.0 million shares of common stock, effective February 3, 2026. The conversion follows the company’s stock price having exceeded the required conversion threshold of $14.25 for an extended period.

On the analyst front, Benchmark reiterated its Buy rating on Lindblad Expeditions and kept an $18 price target, citing greater institutional interest. Separately, Stifel raised its price target on the company to $23 and maintained a Buy rating following conversations with Lindblad's leadership. The coverage and ratings activity also included Benchmark initiating coverage with a Buy rating that highlighted the company’s position in the high-end expedition travel sector.

Collectively, the insider selling, the quarterly results that combine a revenue beat with an EPS miss, and the upcoming preferred-stock conversion represent a sequence of developments investors will weigh as they assess Lindblad’s capital structure and near-term outlook.

Risks

  • The company missed consensus earnings per share for Q3 2025, reporting $0.00 against an expected $0.19 - a potential concern for profitability metrics.
  • Mandatory conversion of the 6.0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock into approximately 9.0 million common shares on Feb. 3, 2026 introduces a known increase in outstanding common share count.
  • Insider sale of 183,639 shares over two days could add near-term selling pressure; the transactions were executed under a Rule 10b5-1 plan.
