Possible Bearish Signals With KBR Insiders Disposing Stock
Possible Bearish Signals With KBR Insiders Disposing Stock
The fact that multiple KBR, Inc. (NYSE:KBR) insiders offloaded a considerable amount of shares over the past year could have raised some eyebrows amongst investors. 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.
在过去的一年中,多位KBR, Inc.(纽约证券交易所代码:KBR)内部人士抛售了大量股票,这一事实可能会引起投资者的关注。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,当多个内部人士在特定期限内出售股票时,股东应注意,因为这可能是一个危险信号。
While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.
尽管在长期投资方面,内幕交易并不是最重要的事情,但我们确实认为密切关注内部人士的所作所为是完全合乎逻辑的。
The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At KBR
KBR最近12个月的内幕交易
Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider sale was by the President of Government Solutions - U.S., William Bright, for US$1.2m worth of shares, at about US$60.68 per share. That means that even when the share price was below the current price of US$66.37, an insider wanted to cash in some shares. 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 26% of William Bright's holding.
在过去的一年中,我们可以看到,最大的内幕出售是美国政府解决方案总裁威廉·布莱特,以每股约60.68美元的价格出售了价值120万美元的股票。这意味着,即使股价低于当前的66.37美元,内部人士也想套现一些股票。当内部人士以低于当前价格的价格出售时,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完全估值,因此这只是一个弱势信号。我们注意到,最大的单笔交易仅占威廉·布莱特持股的26%。

Insiders At KBR Have Sold Stock Recently
KBR的内部人士最近出售了股票
Over the last three months, we've seen significant insider selling at KBR. In total, Executive VP Sonia Galindo sold US$308k worth of shares in that time, and we didn't record any purchases whatsoever. In light of this it's hard to argue that all the insiders think that the shares are a bargain.
在过去的三个月中,我们看到了KBR的大量内幕抛售。执行副总裁索尼亚·加林多当时总共出售了价值30.8万美元的股票,我们没有记录任何购买记录。有鉴于此,很难说所有内部人士都认为股票很划算。
Does KBR Boast High Insider Ownership?
KBR是否拥有很高的内部所有权?
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. It appears that KBR insiders own 1.1% of the company, worth about US$94m. This level of insider ownership is good but just short of being particularly stand-out. It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment.
我喜欢看看内部人士在一家公司拥有多少股票,以帮助我了解他们与内部人士的看法。通常,内部人士的所有权越高,内部人士长期建立公司的可能性就越大。看来KBR内部人士拥有该公司1.1%的股份,价值约9400万美元。这种内部所有权水平不错,但还没有特别突出。这无疑表明了一定程度的一致性。
