Insiders who sold US$14m worth of The Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR were amply compensated
Even though The Kroger Co. (NYSE:KR) stock gained 5.4% last week, insiders who sold US$14m worth of stock over the past year are probably better off. Holding on to stock would have meant their investment would be worth less now than it was at the time of sale. Thus selling at an average price of US$53.02, which is higher than the current price, may have been the best decision.
即使克罗格公司。(纽约证券交易所股票代码：KR)股票上周上涨5.4%，在过去一年中出售了价值1400万美元股票的内部人士可能会更好。持有股票将意味着他们现在的投资价值将低于出售时。因此，以高于当前价格的53.02美元的均价出售可能是最好的决定。
Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.
尽管我们不认为股东应该简单地跟踪内幕交易，但我们确实认为，密切关注内部人士的所作所为是完全合乎逻辑的。

Kroger Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
克罗格去年的内幕交易
The Senior VP and Chief Merchant & Marketing Officer, Stuart Aitken, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$2.9m worth of shares at a price of US$55.75 each. We generally don't like to see insider selling, but the lower the sale price, the more it concerns us. The silver lining is that this sell-down took place above the latest price (US$48.70). So it is hard to draw any strong conclusion from it.
高级副总裁兼首席商务和营销官斯图尔特·艾特肯在过去12个月中进行了最大规模的内幕交易。这一笔交易是以每股55.75美元的价格收购价值290万美元的股票。我们通常不喜欢看到内幕销售，但售价越低，我们就越担心。一线希望是，这次抛售发生在最新价格(48.70美元)之上。因此，很难从中得出任何强有力的结论。

Kroger Insiders Are Selling The Stock
克罗格内部人士正在抛售股票
Over the last three months, we've seen significant insider selling at Kroger. In total, Senior Vice President of Human Resources & Labor Relations Timothy Massa sold US$2.0m 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.
在过去的三个月里，我们看到克罗格进行了大量的内幕销售。在此期间，负责人力资源和劳动关系的高级副总裁蒂莫西·马萨总共出售了价值200万美元的股票，我们没有记录任何购买行为。总体而言，这让我们有点谨慎，但这并不是一切。
Insider Ownership
内部人持股
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. Kroger insiders own about US$305m worth of shares (which is 0.9% of the company). This kind of significant ownership by insiders does generally increase the chance that the company is run in the interest of all shareholders.
另一种测试公司领导人与其他股东之间一致性的方法是看他们拥有多少股份。通常，内部人持股越高，内部人就越有可能受到激励，建立长期的公司。克罗格内部人士拥有价值约3.05亿美元的股票(占公司股份的0.9%)。这种由内部人士持有的重大所有权通常确实增加了公司以所有股东的利益运营的机会。
So What Does This Data Suggest About Kroger Insiders?
那么，这些数据对克罗格内部人士有何启示？
An insider sold Kroger shares recently, but they didn't buy any. Looking to the last twelve months, our data doesn't show any insider buying. But since Kroger is profitable and growing, we're not too worried by this. While insiders do own a lot of shares in the company (which is good), our analysis of their transactions doesn't make us feel confident about the company. So these insider transactions can help us build a thesis about the stock, but it's also worthwhile knowing the risks facing this company. For example - Kroger has 4 warning signs we think you should be aware of.
一位内部人士最近卖出了克罗格的股票，但他们一股也没买。展望过去12个月，我们的数据并未显示有任何内部人士买入。但由于克罗格是盈利的，而且还在增长，我们并不太担心这一点。虽然内部人士确实持有该公司的大量股份(这很好)，但我们对他们交易的分析并不能让我们对该公司充满信心。因此，这些内幕交易可以帮助我们建立一个关于股票的论文，但了解这家公司面临的风险也是值得的。例如-克罗格有4个警示标志我们认为你应该意识到。
