Dolphin Entertainment shares jump 14.04% premarket after CEO buys $4.9k in stock.

Dolphin Entertainment (NASDAQ:DLPN) surged 14.04% in premarket trading following CEO William O’Dowd IV’s purchase of 2,700 shares at an average price of $1.805, signaling confidence in the stock’s near-term potential. The transaction, valued at $4,873, occurred as the company reported a 16.7% year-over-year revenue increase in Q3 2025 to $14.8 million, alongside a narrowing net loss and the launch of a new AI division. O’Dowd’s purchase price of $1.805 exceeds the current $1.66 trading price, suggesting undervaluation near its 52-week high of $1.88. The stock’s recent 72.71% annual return and positive momentum further support the bullish move, aligning with the CEO’s investment and the company’s organic growth trajectory. Unrelated news about similarly named entities (e.g., Dolphin Offshore Enterprises) and technical indicators for Indian stocks had no material impact on DLPN’s premarket performance.
