Don't Ignore The Insider Selling In Legend Strategy International Holdings Group

Simply Wall St ·  Apr 15 14:03

Some Legend Strategy International Holdings Group Company Limited (HKG:1355) shareholders may be a little concerned to see that the Non-Executive Chairman, Fuer Yuan, recently sold a substantial HK$4.0m worth of stock at a price of HK$0.25 per share. However, it's crucial to note that they remain very much invested in the stock and that sale only reduced their holding by 5.0%.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Legend Strategy International Holdings Group

In fact, the recent sale by Fuer Yuan was the biggest sale of Legend Strategy International Holdings Group shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. So it's clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even below the current price of HK$0.34. When an insider sells below the current price, it suggests that they considered that lower price to be fair. That makes us wonder what they think of the (higher) recent valuation. Please do note, however, that sellers may have a variety of reasons for selling, so we don't know for sure what they think of the stock price. We note that the biggest single sale was only 5.0%of Fuer Yuan's holding.

Does Legend Strategy International Holdings Group Boast High Insider Ownership?

Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by insiders. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. Legend Strategy International Holdings Group insiders own 72% of the company, currently worth about HK$108m based on the recent share price. I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.

So What Does This Data Suggest About Legend Strategy International Holdings Group Insiders?

An insider hasn't bought Legend Strategy International Holdings Group stock in the last three months, but there was some selling.
