Flowserve Insiders Sell US$5.8m Of Stock, Possibly Signalling Caution
Flowserve Insiders Sell US$5.8m Of Stock, Possibly Signalling Caution
In the last year, many Flowserve Corporation (NYSE:FLS) insiders sold a substantial stake in the company which may have sparked shareholders' attention. Knowing whether insiders are buying is usually more helpful when evaluating insider transactions, as insider selling can have various explanations. However, when multiple insiders sell stock over a specific duration, shareholders should take notice as that could possibly be a red flag.
在過去一年中,許多福斯公司(NYSE:FLS)內部人士拋售了公司的大量股份,這可能引起了股東們的注意。知道內部人員是否在買入股票在評估內部交易時通常更有幫助,因爲內部人士拋售股票可能有各種解釋。然而,當多名內部人員在特定期間內拋售股票時,股東們應該注意,因爲這可能是一個警示信號。
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.
儘管我們永遠不會建議投資者僅基於公司董事的行動做出決策,但邏輯推斷您應該關注內部人士是否買賣股票。
The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Flowserve
在過去12個月內福斯的內部交易情況
The President, Robert Rowe, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$5.0m worth of shares at a price of US$49.98 each. That means that even when the share price was below the current price of US$51.69, an insider wanted to cash in some shares. 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. We note that the biggest single sale was only 22% of Robert Rowe's holding.
總統羅伯特·羅威在過去12個月中進行了最大額的內部交易。那筆交易金額爲500萬美元,每股價格爲49.98美元。這意味着即使股價低於當前的51.69美元,一位內部人士仍想賣出一些股票。一般來說,當內部人士以低於當前價格出售股票時,我們認爲這是令人沮喪的,因爲這表明他們對較低的估值感到滿意。但請注意,賣家出售股票可能有各種原因,因此我們無法確定他們對股價有何看法。我們注意到最大額的單筆交易僅佔羅伯特·羅威持有股份的22%。

Does Flowserve Boast High Insider Ownership?
福斯是否擁有高內部所有權?
Looking at the total insider shareholdings in a company can help to inform your view of whether they are well aligned with common shareholders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. Flowserve insiders own about US$31m worth of shares. That equates to 0.5% 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.
查看公司的總內部持股數量可以幫助您了解內部人員是否與普通股東利益對齊。我認爲,如果內部人員擁有公司內大量股份,這是一個好跡象。福斯內部人員擁有大約3100萬美元的股份,相當於公司的0.5%。我們當然在其他地方看到了更高水平的內部持股,但這些持股足以表明內部人員與其他股東之間的一致性。
