LIVE VENTURES Inc: what insiders have been doing
LIVE VENTURES Inc is a Retail company. Its directors and officers file their transactions with SEC (Form 4). In the past year (22 October 2025 to 22 October 2026), 4 filings came from 1 insider.
The flow runs one way only: 4 sales worth €45k, from 1 insider, and no purchase. Biggest ticket of the year: €15k, sold by Gao Dennis and made public on 23 December 2025.
Typically, a trade is published a median of 4 days after it takes place. US insiders must file a Form 4 within two business days of a trade. Selling is not necessarily a view on the stock: liquidity needs and diversification are common motives.
For context, the typical company on the same exchange (median of 3,171 companies) published 24 filings over the same period, against 4 filings here. Our records for LIVE VENTURES Inc go back to 2016, with 96 purchases and 25 sales on the open market in total. In its latest annual report filed with the SEC (10-K, fiscal year ended 30 September 2025), the company reported revenue of 444.9 m USD and net income of 22.7 m USD.

About LIVE VENTURES Inc
LIVE Ventures Incorporated is a U.S.-based holding company listed on the Nasdaq in the United States. Its investment case is not built around a single end market or a single branded product line; rather, it is built around the acquisition and active ownership of cash-generative middle-market businesses, followed by operational improvement, disciplined capital allocation, and close collaboration with management teams. The company traces its roots back to 1968, when it was originally incorporated as Nuclear Corporation of New Mexico. Over time it went through several transformations, including the yp.com and LiveDeal phases, before being repositioned in the mid-2010s as a diversified holding company under the leadership of Jon Isaac.

For investors, the most important point is portfolio composition. Live Ventures currently spans textile, flooring, tools, steel, retail entertainment, and certain financial services activities through its operating subsidiaries. The group’s asset base includes businesses such as Marquis Industries, Vintage Stock, Precision Marshall Steel, The Kinetic Co., and Flooring Liquidators. This structure gives the company diversification across end markets, but it also means results are influenced by several cyclical drivers, especially U.S. housing activity, consumer demand, and industrial production trends.

Strategically, Live Ventures presents itself as a sector-agnostic acquirer of closely held or family-founded businesses with annual earnings in the roughly $5 million to $50 million range. Management emphasizes businesses with defensible market positions, stable cash flow, and room for productivity gains through AI, robotics, and data analytics. In that respect, the company resembles an operating holding company or a mini-conglomerate more than a traditional industrial platform or passive investment vehicle. Its stated goal is to build shareholder value through a buy-build-hold framework rather than rapid asset turnover. ([ir.liveventures.com](https://ir.liveventures.com/))
Recent financial disclosures point to a meaningful improvement in operating performance. For the fiscal year ended September 30, 2025, Live Ventures reported revenue of $444.9 million, adjusted EBITDA of $33.4 million, and net income of $22.7 million, compared with a net loss in the prior year. Management attributed the improvement to pricing discipline, cost reductions, and better operating execution, even though weakness in new home construction and home refurbishment continued to weigh on the flooring businesses. ([ir.liveventures.com](https://ir.liveventures.com/all-sec-filings/content/0001628280-25-056461/live-earningsrelease_q4x20.htm))
Recent company developments also highlight its active portfolio management. The acquisition of Central Steel Fabricators in May 2024 strengthened the steel segment, while the Retail-Entertainment business benefited from strong demand for vintage and collectible media. In 2025 and 2026, Live Ventures also highlighted modernization efforts at Flooring Liquidators, including an AI-enabled logistics and autonomous materials-handling initiative designed to improve warehouse throughput and reduce damage. The company is headquartered in Las Vegas, Nevada, and trades on the Nasdaq market in the United States, making it a niche but potentially interesting public holding-company story for investors seeking exposure to small-cap operational turnaround and acquisition-driven growth.
