The transaction amounted to approximately $1,224,476, with the shares trading at $2.20 each.

However, the stock had seen a 5.2% increase over the past week. Rosenbloom, as Managing Member of Cruiser Capital, owns these shares indirectly, holding a pecuniary interest in the Cruiser Funds and SMAs, but disclaims any beneficial ownership of those investments, except for his direct stake. The reported sale was not related to AVD's business, operations, or prospects.

Meanwhile, American Vanguard Corp. reported a decline in net sales for its second quarter of 2026, falling 9.3% short of the estimated $135 million and missing Wall Street expectations. The company still anticipates a steady full-year outlook despite the challenges of lower sales, increased freight costs, and weaker manufacturing efficiency. Investors are closely watching how these factors will affect future earnings.
