Possible Bearish Signals With CrossFirst Bankshares Insiders Disposing Stock
Possible Bearish Signals With CrossFirst Bankshares Insiders Disposing Stock
A number of CrossFirst Bankshares, Inc. (NASDAQ:CFB) insiders sold their shares in the last year, which may have raised concerns among investors. When evaluating insider transactions, knowing whether insiders are buying is usually more beneficial than knowing whether they are selling, as the latter can be open to many interpretations. 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，有一些CrossFirst Bankshares，Inc. (纳斯达克：CFB) 的内部人士卖出了他们的股份，这可能引起了投资者的担忧。在评估内部人员交易时，通常了解内部人员是否正在买入比了解他们是否在卖出更有益，因为后者可能有很多解释。然而，当多个内部人员在特定期间内出售股票时，股东应该注意到这一点，因为这可能是一个红色信号。
Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.
虽然我们认为股东不应仅仅跟随内部人士的交易，但逻辑告诉我们，应该注意内部人士是购买还是出售股票。
The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At CrossFirst Bankshares
CrossFirst Bankshares的最近12个月内部交易
In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the Independent Director, Michael Robinson, sold US$271k worth of shares at a price of US$10.64 per share. That means that even when the share price was below the current price of US$15.23, 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. It is worth noting that this sale was only 22% of Michael Robinson's holding.
在过去的十二个月中，独立董事迈克尔·罗宾逊（Michael Robinson）的一次单笔最大交易是出售总价值271000美元的股票，价格为每股10.64美元。这意味着即使股价低于当前的15.23美元，内部人员也想要赚取一些股份。当内部人员以低于当前价格的价格出售时，这表明他们认为更低的价格是公平的。这使我们想知道他们对（较高的）最近估值有何看法。虽然内部人员卖出股票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股票已经完全价值，因此这只是一个微弱的信号。值得注意的是，这次出售仅占迈克尔·罗宾逊持股的22%。

Does CrossFirst Bankshares Boast High Insider Ownership?
CrossFirst Bankshares拥有高内部持股吗？
Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. CrossFirst Bankshares insiders own about US$44m worth of shares. That equates to 5.9% of the company. This level of insider ownership is good but just short of being particularly stand-out. It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment.
测试公司领导层与其他股东之间的协调性的另一种方法是看他们拥有多少股份。高内部持股往往使公司领导层更加关注股东利益。CrossFirst Bankshares内部人员拥有价值约4400万美元的股票。这相当于公司的5.9%。这种内部持股水平很好，但并不特别突出。它当然表明了一个合理的程度的协调。
