Honest Company SVP sells $30,743 in shares under tax-cover plan

Jonathan Mayle, Senior Vice President of Customer Sales at The Honest Company, sold 6,161 ordinary shares on August 20, 2026, for a total of $30,743 at $4.99 per share. The transaction was executed under a sell-to-cover plan approved by the Compensation Committee to cover tax obligations resulting from the vesting of previously granted restricted stock units (RSUs).

Separately, Mayle acquired 105,799 ordinary shares at no cost as part of a new RSU grant. These units will vest over three years, with half vesting on February 19, 2028, and the remainder on August 19, 2029, subject to continued employment. Following the transactions, Mayle holds 363,994 shares directly, including 346,651 RSUs convertible into ordinary shares. After the RSU acquisition, his total direct equity ownership rises to 469,793 shares, including 452,450 RSUs.

The Honest Company’s stock closed at $5.20 on August 24, giving the company a market capitalization of $553 million. Shares have gained approximately 130% over the past six months. InvestingPro describes the stock as overvalued at current levels.

The company reported Q2 revenue of $83.3 million, with record margins supporting improved profitability. For full-year 2026, Honest Company projects revenue between $319 million and $325 million, with adjusted EBITDA estimated at $23 million to $25 million.

Analysts have adjusted their outlooks following the results. Freedom Broker upgraded the stock to Buy from Hold and raised its price target to $5.00, citing higher-than-expected revenue and profitability driven by fast-growing product categories. Morgan Stanley increased its price target to $5.70 from $3.40, maintaining an Equal-weight rating and highlighting technology investments in diapers and a shift toward a broader product mix.

The company’s revenue remains diversified, with baby products accounting for less than 30% of total sales. Wipes and personal care products represent more than 70% of revenue.
