Assured Guaranty Insiders Sell US$8.1m Of Stock, Possibly Signalling Caution
Assured Guaranty Insiders Sell US$8.1m Of Stock, Possibly Signalling Caution
In the last year, many Assured Guaranty Ltd. (NYSE:AGO) 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, shareholders should take a deeper look if several insiders are selling stock over a specific time period.
去年,许多Assured Guaranty Ltd.(纽约证券交易所代码:AGO)内部人士出售了该公司的大量股份,这可能引起了股东的关注。在评估内幕交易时,了解内部人士是否在买入通常更有帮助,因为内幕卖出可以有多种解释。但是,股东应更深入地研究是否有几位内部人士在特定时间段内出售股票。
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.
尽管我们绝不会建议投资者仅根据公司董事的所作所为做出决定,但我们认为完全忽视内幕交易是愚蠢的。
The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Assured Guaranty
有保障担保的最近 12 个月的内幕交易
The Deputy Chairman, Dominic Frederico, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$3.1m worth of shares at a price of US$61.35 each. That means that even when the share price was below the current price of US$89.49, 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. 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. This single sale was just 3.2% of Dominic Frederico's stake.
副董事长多米尼克·弗雷德里科进行了过去12个月中最大规模的内幕出售。这笔单笔交易是价值310万美元的股票,每股价格为61.35美元。这意味着,即使股价低于当前的89.49美元,内部人士也想套现一些股票。通常,当内部人士以低于当前价格的价格出售时,我们认为这令人沮丧,因为这表明他们对较低的估值感到满意。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完全估值,因此这只是一个弱势信号。此次出售仅占多米尼克·弗雷德里科股份的3.2%。

Over the last three months, we've seen significant insider selling at Assured Guaranty. In total, Independent Director George Buhl sold US$178k 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.

Does Assured Guaranty Boast High Insider Ownership?
有保障的担保是否拥有较高的内部所有权?
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. Assured Guaranty insiders own 5.6% of the company, currently worth about US$279m based on the recent share price. I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
查看公司的内部持股总量可以帮助你了解他们是否与普通股股东保持一致。较高的内部所有权通常会使公司领导层更加关注股东的利益。Assured Guaranty内部人士拥有该公司5.6%的股份,根据最近的股价,目前价值约2.79亿美元。我喜欢看到这种程度的内部所有权,因为它增加了管理层考虑股东最大利益的机会。
What Might The Insider Transactions At Assured Guaranty Tell Us?
Assured Guaranty 的内幕交易能告诉我们什么?
An insider sold Assured Guaranty shares recently, but they didn't buy any. And there weren't any purchases to give us comfort, over the last year. But since Assured Guaranty 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. At Simply Wall St, we've found that Assured Guaranty has 2 warning signs (1 is concerning!) that deserve your attention before going any further with your analysis.
