1 insider bought €17k of shares over the last 90 days, the latest filed 21 Sept 2026.
Every trade that managers of Tilly's, Inc. disclose to SEC (Form 4) is tracked on this page. The company sits in the Retail & Commerce sector. Over the twelve months to 18 October 2026, 17 filings were filed, from 7 insiders.
Open-market activity splits into 1 purchase totalling €17k and 13 sales totalling €11.0M; 1 insider sit on the buying side and 3 insiders on the selling side. The totals exclude 1 filing filed without an amount. Buying on the open market means paying the going price with one's own funds, a different act from receiving shares as pay. Biggest ticket of the year: €3.5M, sold by Fund 1 Investments, LLC and made public on 8 September 2026 (3.1% of market cap). Those buying include 1 finance chief.
Compared with its exchange (5,458 companies, median 22 filings), a count of 17 filings is below the norm. Looking back to 2021, when coverage begins, insiders filed 59 purchases and 27 sales. The 10-K for the year ended 31 January 2026 shows 553.6 m USD of revenue and -17.5 m USD of net income.
The most recent open-market purchase was published on 21 September 2026, 27 days ago. Typically, a trade is published a median of 4 days after it takes place. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify.
In the same sector, recent insider purchases at GameStop Corp. and Dick's Sporting Goods, Inc. also feature in our signals. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by SEC (Form 4). They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.
Entry is the close on the day after publication, the first price a reader could act on. Prices in the listing currency. Past moves are not a forecast.
This score ranks the purchase within its own market. A position size is suggested only on the venues of the backtested strategy universe; elsewhere, signals stay on watch. Not investment advice.
Transparent value + quality ranking, distinct from the insider signal.

TILLY’S, INC. (ticker: TLYS) is a US-listed specialty retailer traded on the NASDAQ in the United States. The company focuses on casual apparel, footwear and accessories for young men, young women, boys and girls, with a merchandising mix built around an active, outdoor and social lifestyle. Its assortment includes iconic global brands, emerging labels and proprietary brands, which gives Tilly’s a differentiated position versus broad-based apparel chains and helps it stay relevant to a younger, trend-sensitive customer base. The concept dates back to 1982, when co-founders Hezy Shaked and Tilly Levine opened the first store in Orange County, California. The current corporate structure was formed in 2011 in preparation for its IPO. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001524025/000162828025055366/tlys-20251101.htm?utm_source=openai))
Headquartered in Irvine, California, Tilly’s operates a hybrid retail model centered on physical stores and e-commerce through tillys.com. The company’s online channel offers the same core merchandise as its stores, plus additional online-only styles, allowing it to extend reach while supporting inventory productivity. As of May 3, 2025, Tilly’s operated 238 stores across 33 states, with locations in malls, lifestyle centers, power centers, community centers, outlet centers and street-front sites. By November 1, 2025, the store count had declined to 230 stores in 33 states, indicating continued network optimization.

From a competitive standpoint, Tilly’s sits in a niche between youth-oriented apparel retailers, action-sports inspired chains and digitally enabled fashion sellers. Its key strengths are brand curation, lifestyle positioning and the ability to serve a customer seeking value, relevance and authenticity. Recent SEC filings also show that the business sells hardgoods in addition to apparel, shoes and accessories, reinforcing its broader lifestyle orientation. ([sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/0001524025/000162828025055366/tlys-20251101.htm?utm_source=openai))
Recent developments have been shaped by a challenging consumer backdrop. In its latest annual reporting, management highlighted persistent inflation, higher labor, shipping and digital marketing costs, and potential tariff pressure as factors that could weigh on customer demand and profitability. The company has also been closing selected stores as part of its footprint rationalization and entered into a first amendment to its credit agreement with Wells Fargo in March 2025. For investors, TLYS remains a cyclical discretionary retail name with a recognizable youth-oriented brand platform, but one that is still exposed to US consumer spending trends, promotional intensity and margin pressure.
