FibroGen, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:FGEN) Stock Has Plunged to US$12.87, but Insiders May Have Sold Too Soon at an Even Lower Price of US$11.58
FibroGen, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:FGEN) Stock Has Plunged to US$12.87, but Insiders May Have Sold Too Soon at an Even Lower Price of US$11.58
Even though FibroGen, Inc. (NASDAQ:FGEN) has fallen by 5.9% over the past week , insiders who sold US$152k worth of stock over the past year have had less luck. Insiders would probably have been better off holding on to their shares given that the average selling price of US$11.58 is still lower than the current share price.
While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.

FibroGen Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the insider, Thomas Kearns, sold US$152k worth of shares at a price of US$11.58 per share. That means that an insider was selling shares at slightly below the current price (US$12.87). 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. This single sale was just 5.1% of Thomas Kearns's stake. Thomas Kearns was the only individual insider to sell shares in the last twelve months.

Insider Ownership Of FibroGen
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. Usually, the higher the insider ownership, the more likely it is that insiders will be incentivised to build the company for the long term. FibroGen insiders own about US$18m worth of shares. That equates to 1.5% of the company. We've certainly seen higher levels of insider ownership elsewhere, but these holdings are enough to suggest alignment between insiders and the other shareholders.
What Might The Insider Transactions At FibroGen Tell Us?
It doesn't really mean much that no insider has traded FibroGen shares in the last quarter. Our analysis of FibroGen insider transactions leaves us cautious. But we do like the fact that insiders own a fair chunk of the company. 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 FibroGen has 1 warning sign and it would be unwise to ignore it.
Of course, you might find a fantastic investment by looking elsewhere. So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies.

即使FibroGen公司纳斯达克(Sequoia Capital:FDEN)在过去一周下跌了5.9%,但在过去一年里抛售了价值15.2万美元股票的内部人士运气不佳。鉴于11.58美元的平均售价仍低于当前股价,内部人士可能会更好地持有自己的股票。
虽然我们永远不会建议投资者完全根据公司董事的所作所为做出决定,但按照逻辑,你应该关注内部人士是在买入还是卖出股票。

FibroGen去年的内幕交易
在过去的12个月里,内部人士最大的单笔出售是内部人士托马斯·卡恩斯以每股11.58美元的价格出售了价值15.2万美元的股票。这意味着一位内部人士以略低于当前价格(12.87美元)的价格出售股票。当内部人士以低于当前价格的价格出售股票时,这表明他们认为较低的价格是公平的。这让我们想知道他们对最近(较高的)估值有何看法。然而,请注意,卖家可能有各种各样的理由出售,所以我们不能确切地知道他们对股价的看法。这笔交易仅相当于托马斯·卡恩斯所持股份的5.1%。托马斯·卡恩斯是过去12个月中唯一一位出售股票的个人内部人士。

FibroGen的内部所有权
我喜欢看内部人士在一家公司持有多少股份,以帮助我了解他们与内部人士的关系。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。FibroGen内部人士拥有价值约1800万美元的股票。这相当于该公司1.5%的股份。我们当然在其他地方看到了更高水平的内部人持股,但这些持股足以表明内部人和其他股东之间的关系。
FibroGen的内幕交易可能会告诉我们什么?
