UFP Industries Insiders Sell US$11m Of Stock, Possibly Signalling Caution
UFP Industries Insiders Sell US$11m Of Stock, Possibly Signalling Caution
In the last year, many UFP Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:UFPI) insiders sold a substantial stake in the company which may have sparked shareholders' attention. When evaluating insider transactions, knowing whether insiders are buying is usually more beneficial than knowing whether they are selling, as the latter can be open to many interpretations. However, when multiple insiders sell stock over a specific duration, shareholders should take notice as that could possibly be a red flag.
去年，許多UFP工業公司（納斯達克股票代碼：UFPI）內部人士出售了該公司的大量股份，這可能引起了股東的關注。在評估內幕交易時，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益，因爲後者可能有多種解釋。但是，當多個內部人士在特定期限內出售股票時，股東應注意，因爲這可能是一個危險信號。
While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether.
儘管我們絕不會建議投資者僅根據公司董事的所作所爲做出決定，但我們認爲完全忽視內幕交易是愚蠢的。
The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At UFP Industries
UFP Industries 過去 12 個月的內幕交易
Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider sale was by the CEO & Chairman, Matthew Missad, for US$3.4m worth of shares, at about US$114 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even below the current price of US$121. As a general rule we consider it to be discouraging when insiders are selling below the current price, because it suggests they were happy with a lower 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 7.9% of Matthew Missad's stake.
在過去的一年中，我們可以看到，最大規模的內幕出售是首席執行官兼董事長馬修·米薩德，出售價值340萬美元的股票，每股約114美元。因此，很明顯，一位內部人士想從桌上拿出一些現金，甚至低於目前的121美元價格。通常，當內部人士以低於當前價格的價格出售時，我們認爲這令人沮喪，因爲這表明他們對較低的估值感到滿意。但是，請注意，賣家可能有各種各樣的賣出原因，因此我們不確定他們對股價的看法。此次出售僅佔馬修·米薩德股份的7.9％。
