Viant technology CEO Vanderhook sells shares worth $85k

Viant Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:DSP) CEO and Chairman Timothy Vanderhook sold 8,782 shares of Class A Common Stock on September 15, 2025, at a price of $9.7274, totaling $85,426. The transaction occurred with the stock trading near its 52-week low of $9.07, amid a significant year-to-date decline of over 50%. According to InvestingPro analysis, the company currently appears undervalued based on its Fair Value metrics.

According to a Form 4 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, Vanderhook also engaged in several other transactions. On September 16, he converted 313,926 Class B Units into Class A Common Stock, and those shares were then disposed of on September 17 at $9.5564 per share, for a total value of approximately $3,000,002. These shares were sold to the issuer in connection with tax planning. These shares were held by Capital V LLC, in which Vanderhook has a one-third interest.

The filing also notes adjustments to holdings related to grantor retained annuity trusts (GRATs) for Eve, Stella, Gray and Kingston Vanderhook, reflecting annuity payments to Vanderhook’s direct holdings.

In other recent news, Viant Technology Inc. reported strong second-quarter earnings for 2025, significantly surpassing analyst expectations with an impressive 800% earnings per share (EPS) surprise. The company’s revenue also exceeded forecasts, contributing to positive momentum in after-hours trading. Despite this strong performance, JMP Securities lowered its price target for Viant Technology to $18.00 from $24.00, while maintaining a Market Outperform rating. The adjustment follows the company’s second-quarter results, which showed contribution ex-TAC near the midpoint of guidance and EBITDA at the high-end of guidance.

Additionally, Raymond James reduced its price target to $19.00 from $20.00 but upheld a Strong Buy rating. This decision was influenced by Viant’s third-quarter guidance, which fell slightly below expectations due to a client loss by one of its agency customers, impacting contribution ex-TAC growth. Meanwhile, DA Davidson initiated coverage on Viant Technology with a Buy rating and a price target of $15.00. These developments reflect varied analyst perspectives on the company’s future performance.
