SSP E.W. SCRIPPS Co
Price Chart
Executive Summary
A mixed insider cluster at E.W. Scripps shows a 10% owner (McCabe Molly E) selling $497K worth of shares on May 18, while another 10% owner (Granado Geraldine Scripps) bought $258K worth on May 14. The selling by McCabe is the largest trade in the cluster and occurs after a period of significant insider selling over the prior 30 days ($1.1M total). The buying by Granado provides some counterbalance, but the net direction is mixed with a slight bearish tilt given the larger dollar value of sales and the company's small market cap ($319M).
Key Financial Metrics
Actionable Insight
The $497K sale by McCabe, a 10% owner, is the dominant trade in this cluster and follows a pattern of elevated insider selling ($1.1M in 30 days). While Granado's $258K buy provides some offset, the net signal is mixed with a bearish tilt. Monitor for any upcoming earnings or material news that could explain the divergence. The historical calibration suggests bullish calls on SSP have a low win rate at T+20, so avoid over-interpreting the buy side.
Key Facts

Financial Impact
Cluster value of $759K is 0.24% of market cap, modest but notable given the concentrated selling by one 10% owner.
Risk Factors
- Continued insider selling by McCabe could signal negative private information.
- The mixed cluster may reflect differing views among major shareholders, creating uncertainty.
- SSP's small market cap ($319M) makes it sensitive to insider trading signals, but the 0.24% cluster value is not transformative.
