David L. Kanen, managing member of Kanen Wealth Management, reported a 9.8% stake in Allot Ltd. as of June 25, 2026. The group disclosed the position in a Schedule 13D after recent talks with Allot’s management and board. Following Allot’s new $40 million buyback plan, Kanen signaled a shift to a passive stance.

Investor Intent

Kanen engaged Allot’s leadership on ways to create value, then pivoted after Allot authorized a $40 million share repurchase on June 23, 2026. The filing states the group "no longer hold securities of the Issuer with a purpose or effect of changing or influencing control of the Issuer" and will "make future filings... on Schedule 13G."

Kanen may still adjust the position over time and could buy or sell shares in the market. The group plans to keep reviewing Allot’s performance and strategy while remaining open to further dialogue with the company.
