The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Vertex Energy
In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the Independent Director, David Phillips, sold US$2.1m worth of shares at a price of US$16.33 per share. While insider selling is a negative, to us, it is more negative if the shares are sold at a lower price. It's of some comfort that this sale was conducted at a price well above the current share price, which is US$7.80. So it is hard to draw any strong conclusion from it. David Phillips was the only individual insider to sell over the last year.

NasdaqCM:VTNR Insider Trading Volume August 10th 2022I will like Vertex Energy better if I see some big insider buys. While we wait, check out this free list of growing companies with considerable, recent, insider buying.
Vertex Energy Insiders Are Selling The Stock
The last three months saw significant insider selling at Vertex Energy. Specifically, Independent Director David Phillips ditched US$2.1m worth of shares in that time, and we didn't record any purchases whatsoever. Overall this makes us a bit cautious, but it's not the be all and end all.
Does Vertex Energy Boast High Insider Ownership?
Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. Usually, the higher the insider ownership, the more likely it is that insiders will be incentivised to build the company for the long term. Vertex Energy insiders own 20% of the company, currently worth about US$115m 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 Vertex Energy Insiders?
An insider sold Vertex Energy shares recently, but they didn't buy any. Looking to the last twelve months, our data doesn't show any insider buying. It is good to see high insider ownership, but the insider selling leaves us cautious. So while it's helpful to know what insiders are doing in terms of buying or selling, it's also helpful to know the risks that a particular company is facing. While conducting our analysis, we found that Vertex Energy has 3 warning signs and it would be unwise to ignore them.

業內人士在頂點能源公司納斯達克(Sequoia Capital:VTNR)在過去一年中以每股16.12美元的平均價格出售了價值210萬美元的股票,充分利用了他們的投資。在股價下跌44%後,該公司的市值在過去一週裏縮水了4.7億美元,儘管內部人士能夠將損失降至最低
雖然我們永遠不會建議投資者完全根據公司董事的所作所為做出決定,但按照邏輯,你應該關注內部人士是在買入還是賣出股票。

Vertex Energy最近12個月的內幕交易
在過去12個月裏,內部人士最大的單筆出售是獨立董事大衞·菲利普斯以每股16.33美元的價格出售了價值210萬美元的股票。雖然內幕出售是負面的,但對我們來説,如果股票以更低的價格出售,負面影響就更大。令人欣慰的是,這次出售的價格遠遠高於目前7.80美元的股價。因此,很難從中得出任何強有力的結論。大衞·菲利普斯是去年唯一出售的個人內部人士。

Vertex Energy內部人士正在拋售該股
在過去的三個月裏,Vertex Energy出現了大量的內幕出售。具體地説,獨立董事大衞·菲利普斯在那段時間拋售了價值210萬美元的股票,我們沒有記錄任何買入。總體而言,這讓我們有點謹慎,但這並不是一切。
Vertex Energy是否擁有很高的內部人持股?
另一種測試公司領導人與其他股東之間一致性的方法是看他們擁有多少股份。通常,內部人持股越高,內部人就越有可能受到激勵,建立長期的公司。Vertex Energy內部人士擁有該公司20%的股份,根據最近的股價,目前價值約為1.15億美元。我喜歡看到這種程度的內部人持股,因為它增加了管理層考慮股東最佳利益的機會。
那麼,這些數據對頂點能源內部人士有什麼啟示呢?
一位內部人士最近拋售了Vertex Energy的股票,但他們沒有買入任何股票。展望過去12個月,我們的數據並未顯示有任何內部人士買入。看到高內部人持股是件好事,但內部人拋售讓我們保持謹慎。因此,雖然瞭解內部人士在買入或賣出方面做了什麼是有幫助的,但瞭解一家特定公司面臨的風險也是有幫助的。在進行分析時,我們發現頂點能量具有3個警示標誌忽視它們是不明智的。
但請注意:Vertex Energy可能不是買入的最佳股票。所以讓我們來看看這個免費高淨資產收益率和低負債的有趣公司名單。
