  "account": "Aptera Motors Corp director Anthony Kirton recently sold a portion of the company's stock, transferring 13,612 shares worth $28,449 on August 7, 2026. The share price at the time of sale was $2.09. The transaction was prompted by the need to settle a tax obligation stemming from the vesting of a restricted stock award. Since then, Aptera's stock, which trades under the NASDAQ ticker SEV, has plummeted, now valued at $1.45 per share and boasting a market capitalization of $53.89 million. According to InvestingPro Tips, the stock has plummeted 82% over the past year and dropped 12% in just the previous week. Despite this, Kirton still holds 100,503 shares of Class B common stock, including 100,503 unvested restricted stock units. Aptera Motors has also recently bolstered its board of directors, adding a fifth independent member, Wellington J. Reiter. Reiter received 210,045 restricted stock units under Aptera's 2025 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan, among other holdings.",
