Several First Mid Bancshares Insiders Sell Shares Sending Potential Negative Signal
Several First Mid Bancshares Insiders Sell Shares Sending Potential Negative Signal
Quite a few First Mid Bancshares, Inc. (NASDAQ:FMBH) insiders sold their shares over the past year, which may be a cause for concern. When analyzing insider transactions, it is usually more valuable to know whether insiders are buying versus knowing if they are selling, as the latter sends an ambiguous message. However, shareholders should take a deeper look if several insiders are selling stock over a specific time period.
在過去的一年中，不少First Mid Bancshares, Inc.（納斯達克股票代碼：FMBH）內部人士出售了股票，這可能令人擔憂。在分析內幕交易時，了解內部人士是否在買入通常比知道他們是否在賣出更有價值，因爲後者發出的信息模棱兩可。但是，股東應更深入地研究是否有幾位內部人士在特定時間段內出售股票。
While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.
儘管在長期投資中，內幕交易並不是最重要的事情，但邏輯要求你應該注意內部人士是在買入還是賣出股票。
First Mid Bancshares Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
去年 Mid Bancshares 的首次內幕交易
The Director, Todd James, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$371k worth of shares at a price of US$30.57 each. That means that even when the share price was below the current price of US$32.88, an insider wanted to cash in some shares. 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. However, while insider selling is sometimes discouraging, it's only a weak signal. It is worth noting that this sale was only 16% of Todd James's holding.
董事託德·詹姆斯進行了過去12個月中最大規模的內幕出售。這筆單筆交易是價值37.1萬美元的股票，每股價格爲30.57美元。這意味着，即使股價低於當前的32.88美元，內部人士也想套現一些股票。當內部人士以低於當前價格的價格出售時，這表明他們認爲較低的價格是公平的。這讓我們想知道他們如何看待最近（更高的）估值。但是，儘管內幕銷售有時令人沮喪，但這只是一個微弱的信號。值得注意的是，此次出售僅佔託德·詹姆斯持股的16％。

Does First Mid Bancshares Boast High Insider Ownership?
First Mid Bancshares 是否擁有很高的內幕所有權？
I like to look at how many shares insiders own in a company, to help inform my view of how aligned they are with insiders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. First Mid Bancshares insiders own 15% of the company, currently worth about US$119m based on the recent share price. This kind of significant ownership by insiders does generally increase the chance that the company is run in the interest of all shareholders.
我喜歡看看內部人士在一家公司擁有多少股票，以幫助我了解他們與內部人士的看法。我認爲，如果內部人士擁有該公司的大量股份，這是一個好兆頭。First Mid BancShares內部人士擁有該公司15％的股份，根據最近的股價，目前價值約爲1.19億美元。內部人士的這種重要所有權通常會增加公司爲所有股東的利益而經營的機會。
