Better Home shares surge 11.13% premarket after officer exercises 5,000 stock options.

Better Home & Finance Holding Co (BETR) surged 11.13% in premarket trading following an insider transaction where Officer Smith exercised 5,000 stock options and netted 2,461 shares after surrendering 2,539 to cover costs. The move, disclosed via a Form 4 filing on November 6, 2025, reflects direct confidence in the company’s valuation, as insider purchases often signal management’s belief in undervaluation. While a prior 8-K filing on November 7 detailing executive bonuses had triggered a selloff in regular trading, this premarket rally suggests the insider’s purchase outweighed prior bearish sentiment. No other news events provided directly correlate to the premarket upward movement.
