BELMONT, CA—John Marlow, Senior Vice President, Chief Administrative Officer, and General Counsel at RingCentral, Inc. (NYSE:RNG), recently sold a significant amount of the company’s stock, according to a recent SEC filing. The transaction comes as InvestingPro data shows the stock trading near its 52-week low of $26.98, with shares down over 14% in the past week. The transactions, which occurred on February 21 and February 24, 2025, involved the sale of shares valued at approximately $1.66 million.
The sales were executed as part of a pre-established trading plan under Rule 10b5-1, which Marlow adopted in March 2024.

The following week, on February 24, he sold an additional 35,089 shares, with prices ranging from $28.227 to $28.898. Despite these insider sales, InvestingPro analysis indicates the stock is currently undervalued, with management actively pursuing share buybacks.

Similarly, Goldman Sachs reduced its price target to $36 while keeping a Neutral rating, pointing to concerns about subscription revenue guidance.
