Why Topgolf Callaway Rallied on Monday
An insider bought $2.5 million in Topgolf Callaway stock. Topgolf Callaway's shares have been cut in half over the past year, and the company will execute a spinoff of Topgolf later this year. However, this big insider buy doesn't necessarily mean you should follow into the stock. 10 stocks we like better than Topgolf Callaway Brands › Shares of Topgolf Callaway (NYSE: MODG) rocketed 11.3% higher on Monday, as of 1:16 p.m. ET. The company, which owns the Callaway golf club and ball brand, as well as Topgolf driving range restaurants, rose on a disclosure that an insider purchased a significant amount of stock on the open market last week. With the stock having been cut in half over the past year and 83% off its 2021 all-time highs, investors might have seen the insider buy as a sign the stock is bottoming. On Friday, it was disclosed that director Adebayo Ogunlesi purchased more Topgolf shares on the open market between June 4 and 5 of last week. All in all, Ogunlesi bought 383,701 shares last week, at an average price around $6.47 per share, good for about $2.5 million. The Nigerian-born Ogunlesi has had a storied career as an investment banker, then chairman and managing partner of private equity firm Global Infrastructure Partners. BlackRock bought GIP last year, and Ogunlesi also became a BlackRock board member. Ogunlesi may see the beaten-down shares as a bargain, given that the high inflation of the past couple of years, which dampened demand at Topgolf, may be ebbing. Additionally, Topgolf and Callaway are about to split the company, with management announcing it will spin off 80.1% of Topgolf in late 2025, effectively undoing the 2021 acquisition of Topgolf by Callaway. So, Ogunlesi may be bullish on the financial engineering and prospects for each company as stand-alone entities. Before diving in, investors may want to pause and look closer at the stock. Topgolf is down so much because recent results have been disappointing. So, does Ogunlesi see signs of a reversal in these trends? It should be noted that Ogunlesi has been a Callaway board member since 2010. That means he was part of the decision to buy Topgolf in the first place -- a decision that is now being unwound. Moreover, Ogunlesi last bought shares on the open market in June 2023, and shares are down 60% since that purchase. Therefore, investors should do their own due diligence on this turnaround situation, not just follow this insider into the stock.

Summer TV Preview 2025: Inside Must-Watch New and Returning Shows From ‘The Bear' to ‘Love Island USA'
Sure, everyone likes to get outside in the summer. But the great outdoors won't seem so great once you realize what's waiting for you on the small screen this season. For starters, you'll get answers to some big cliffhangers, like: What exactly did that restaurant review say on Hulu's fan favorite The Bear — and is the end of the line for Carmy's restaurant? And then there's Netflix's ultra-bingeable Squid Game, where Player 456 in the deadly cash-grab just saw his best friend executed as they tried to storm those off-limits areas and stop the game once and for all. Whether Wednesday Addams would return to Nevermore Academy wasn't exactly a cliffhanger, but questions were definitely raised at the end of the Jenna Ortega series' smash first season: Who was her stalker? What secrets are still 'lurking in the dark corners of Jericho,' as Wednesday mused in the finale? The Netflix horror show ups the stakes in round two: 'The ambition of the show is limitless,' co-showrunner and executive producer Miles Millar has said. 'We let our imaginations fly.' Among new shows, we'll see a new take on the thoroughly creepy Alien franchise, highly anticipated book adaptations like We Were Liars and The Rainmaker, and newly minted reality shows about A-listers in the worlds of music, podcasting, fashion and more.
