Its stock gained over 20% since the beginning of the year, while during the past year, the stock advanced by around 150%. However, the stock still trades below the consensus target of $24.3 per share.

Among the insiders, one stands out: Stephanie Levesque, the Chief Brand Officer of World Wrestling Entertainment, Inc.
