The insider now owns 312,606 shares of ZipRecruiter Inc, with a market cap of $388.548 million. The stock's GF Value is estimated at $8.97, and the price-to-GF-Value ratio is 0.48, suggesting the stock is a "Possible Value Trap, Think Twice" based on its GF Value.

ZipRecruiter Inc. (NYSE: ZIP) has been under scrutiny following its latest earnings report and subsequent insider selling. The company's stock price surged 15% to US$4.34 in the week since its second-quarter results, with revenues of US$112m in line with analyst expectations, but statutory losses were smaller than anticipated at US$0.10 per share [1].

Analysts have adjusted their forecasts for 2025, expecting revenues to reach US$449.8m, a figure similar to the past 12 months. However, per-share losses are projected to increase to US$0.53. This has led to a significant drop in the consensus price target, which fell 19% to US$5.80. The range of analyst estimates varies widely, from a high of US$10.00 to a low of US$4.00 per share, indicating divergent views on the company's valuation [1].

Executive Vice President and Chief Technology Officer Boris Shimanovsky sold 7,330 shares of ZipRecruiter Inc. on August 20, 2025. Following this sale, Shimanovsky now owns 312,606 shares, representing a 3.8% stake in the company. The insider's action comes amidst a broader trend of selling by ZipRecruiter's insiders, with the stock's GF Value estimated at US$8.97 and a price-to-GF-Value ratio of 0.48, suggesting the stock is a "Possible Value Trap" [2].

The company's revenue is expected to decline 0.3% annually by the end of 2025, a trend that is better than the historical trend of 27% annual decline over the past three years. However, this is still worse than the industry average, which is projected to grow 11% annually. The analysts' forecasts indicate a more pessimistic outlook for ZipRecruiter compared to its peers [1].
