ICU Medical Insiders Sell US$9.7m Of Stock, Possibly Signalling Caution
ICU Medical Insiders Sell US$9.7m Of Stock, Possibly Signalling Caution
Many ICU Medical, Inc. (NASDAQ:ICUI) insiders ditched their stock over the past year, which may be of interest to the company's shareholders. When analyzing insider transactions, it is usually more valuable to know whether insiders are buying versus knowing if they are selling, as the latter sends an ambiguous message. However, if numerous insiders are selling, shareholders should investigate more.
在过去的一年中,许多icu医疗公司(纳斯达克:ICUI)的内部人员抛售了他们的股票,这可能会引起股东的兴趣。分析内部交易时,通常更有价值的是知道内部人员是否在买入,而不是卖出,因为后者会发出模糊的信息。不过,如果有多位内部人员在卖出,股东就应该进行更详细的调查。
Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether.
虽然我们不认为股东应该简单地跟随内部交易,但完全忽略内部交易将是愚蠢的。
ICU Medical Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
过去一年中,我们可以看到最大的内部人员销售交易是由内部人员乔治·洛佩兹完成的,他以每股107美元的价格出售价值440万美元的股票。也就是说,即使股票价格低于当前的116美元,某位内部人员也想抛售一些股票。一般而言,当内部人员以低于当前股价的价格出售股票时,我们认为这是一件令人沮丧的事情,因为这意味着他们对于更低的估值感到满意。虽然内部人员的卖出并不是一个积极的信号,但我们不能确定这是否意味着内部人员认为该股票已经完全被估值,因此这只是一个微弱的信号。这一笔交易仅占乔治·洛佩兹持股的3.3%。
Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider sale was by the insider, George Lopez, for US$4.4m worth of shares, at about US$107 per share. That means that even when the share price was below the current price of US$116, 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 3.3% of George Lopez's stake.

对于普通股东来说,值得检查公司内部人员持有的股份数量。通常,持股超过的内部人员比其他人更有可能被激励为长期发展公司。icu医疗公司的内部人员拥有价值约1.69亿美元的股份(占公司总股本的6.0%)。我喜欢看到这种程度的内部人员持股,因为它增加了管理层考虑股东最佳利益的机会。

Insider Ownership
内部人员持股情况
For a common shareholder, it is worth checking how many shares are held by company 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. ICU Medical insiders own about US$169m worth of shares (which is 6.0% of the company). I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
