Don't Ignore The Insider Selling In Ecolab
Don't Ignore The Insider Selling In Ecolab
We wouldn't blame Ecolab Inc. (NYSE:ECL) shareholders if they were a little worried about the fact that Angela Busch, a company insider, recently netted about US$1.0m selling shares at an average price of US$184. That's a big disposal, and it decreased their holding size by 28%, which is notable but not too bad.
如果Ecolab Inc.(纽约证券交易所代码:ECL)的股东对公司内部人士安吉拉·布希最近净赚约100万美元以184美元的平均价格出售股票这一事实感到担忧,我们就不会责怪他们。这是一个很大的处置,它使他们的持股规模减少了28%,这值得注意但还不算太糟糕。

Ecolab Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
去年 Ecolab 的内幕交易
In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the CEO & Chairman of the Board, Christophe Beck, sold US$1.5m worth of shares at a price of US$174 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even below the current price of US$184. 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. While insider selling is not a positive sign, we can't be sure if it does mean insiders think the shares are fully valued, so it's only a weak sign. We note that the biggest single sale was only 14% of Christophe Beck's holding.
在过去的十二个月中,内部人士最大的一次出售是首席执行官兼董事会主席克里斯托弗·贝克以每股174美元的价格出售了价值150万美元的股票。因此,很明显,一位内部人士想从牌桌上提取一些现金,甚至低于目前的184美元价格。当内部人士的卖出价格低于当前价格时,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如何看待最近(更高的)估值。尽管内幕抛售不是一个积极的信号,但我们无法确定这是否意味着内部人士认为股票已被充分估值,因此这只是一个弱势信号。我们注意到,最大的单笔销售额仅为克里斯托弗·贝克持股的14%。

Insider Ownership Of Ecolab
Ecolab 的内部所有权
Looking at the total insider shareholdings in a company can help to inform your view of whether they are well aligned with common shareholders. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. It's great to see that Ecolab insiders own 0.5% of the company, worth about US$255m. Most shareholders would be happy to see this sort of insider ownership, since it suggests that management incentives are well aligned with other shareholders.
查看公司的内部人持股总额可以帮助您了解他们是否与普通股股东保持良好关系。较高的内部人所有权通常会使公司领导层更加关注股东的利益。很高兴看到Ecolab内部人士拥有该公司0.5%的股份,价值约2.55亿美元。大多数股东会乐于看到这种内幕所有权,因为这表明管理层的激励措施与其他股东非常一致。
So What Do The Ecolab Insider Transactions Indicate?
那么 Ecolab 内幕交易表明了什么?
An insider hasn't bought Ecolab stock in the last three months, but there was some selling. Zooming out, the longer term picture doesn't give us much comfort. On the plus side, Ecolab makes money, and is growing profits. 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 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. At Simply Wall St, we found 2 warning signs for Ecolab that deserve your attention before buying any shares.
在过去的三个月中,有内部人士没有购买过Ecolab的股票,但有一些人卖出。放大视野,长远的画面并不能给我们带来太大的安慰。从好的方面来看,Ecolab赚钱,利润也在增长。尽管内部人士确实拥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使我们对公司充满信心。因此,尽管了解内部人士在买入或卖出方面的所作所为很有帮助,但了解特定公司面临的风险也很有帮助。在Simply Wall St,我们在购买任何股票之前为Ecolab找到了两个警告信号,值得你注意。
