1 insider bought €61k of shares over the last 90 days, the latest filed 13 Oct 2026.
Dolphin Entertainment, Inc., founded in 1996, is a Media & Communication company based in Coral Gables, United States. Its directors and officers file their transactions with SEC (Form 4). Between 18 October 2025 and 18 October 2026, 6 insiders published 54 filings.
Every open-market trade in the period is a purchase: 50 purchases worth €4.4M, from 2 insiders, and not a single sale. The amount is not disclosed for 5 filings. Unlike grants, an open-market purchase is paid for by the insider, at the market price. One trade stands out by size: a purchase of €4.2M from O'Dowd William IV, disclosed on 29 December 2025, or 33.2% of market capitalisation. The buyers include 1 senior executive and 1 chief executive.
The clock since the last published purchase (13 October 2026) now reads 5 days. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 2 days. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4.
For context, the typical company on the same exchange (median of 5,810 companies) published 19 filings over the same period, against 54 filings here. Since 2021, the database holds 100 purchases and no sales by insiders of the company. On the fundamentals side, the SEC filing (10-K) for the period ending 31 December 2025 lists revenue at 56.7 m USD and net income at -3.1 m USD.
Elsewhere in the same sector, our signals recently picked up insider purchases at Globalstar, Inc. and Liberty Latin America Ltd. This summary is built from SEC (Form 4) disclosures alone and does not predict where the share price will go.

Dolphin Entertainment, Inc. (NASDAQ: DLPN) is a U.S.-listed company on the NASDAQ market in the United States, and it is best understood as a specialized media and communications platform rather than a traditional studio or pure advertising agency. For investors, Dolphin’s core proposition is its ability to combine entertainment publicity, brand strategy, digital influence, and content production under one roof, serving talent, creators, consumer brands, and corporate clients.
The company’s roots are in film and digital content production, built around Dolphin Films and the leadership of founder and CEO Bill O’Dowd. Over time, Dolphin expanded through acquisitions and organic build-out into a broader portfolio of communications and marketing assets. Today, the group operates through several recognizable subsidiaries, including 42West, The Door, Shore Fire Media, The Digital Dept., Special Projects, Always Alpha, and Elle Communications. These businesses cover public relations, talent and brand communications, digital marketing, influencer-led campaigns, event and cultural marketing, impact communications, sports and talent management, and entertainment-focused promotional services.
Dolphin’s competitive position comes from specialization and cross-functional execution. Rather than competing as a scale-first generalist, it targets high-value niches where relationships, creative credibility, and industry access matter. Its client base spans motion pictures, television, music, gaming, culinary, hospitality, lifestyle, and charitable or mission-driven organizations. That mix gives Dolphin a diversified revenue base within the broader entertainment and communications ecosystem, while also leaving it exposed to cyclical spending patterns in media and brand marketing.
The company’s headquarters are in Coral Gables, Florida, United States, and it maintains additional offices in New York, Los Angeles, and Brooklyn. That footprint is strategically aligned with the major U.S. centers for entertainment, media, and brand activity. Dolphin has also been positioning itself for the next phase of industry change: in late 2025 it announced Dolphin Intelligence, a new division focused on AI-driven marketing and communications strategy and execution. That move suggests management sees artificial intelligence as a practical tool to enhance earned media, campaign efficiency, and client service.
Recent company updates have also pointed to improving operating momentum, including record quarterly revenue in certain 2025 periods and continued investment in growth areas such as women’s sports and affiliate marketing. Dolphin remains a smaller-cap, niche operator, but its portfolio approach, well-known subsidiary brands, and exposure to premium communications categories make it a noteworthy public-market participant in the U.S. media and communications space.
