Insiders Who Sold US$1.1m Of QuantumScape Made The Right Call
Insiders Who Sold US$1.1m Of QuantumScape Made The Right Call
While it's been a great week for QuantumScape Corporation (NYSE:QS) shareholders after stock gained 19%, they should consider it with a grain of salt. The fact that insiders chose to dispose of US$1.1m worth of stock in the past 12 months even though prices were relatively low could be indicative of some anticipated weakness.
Quantumscape公司（纽交所：QS）的股票本周上涨了19％，这对于股东来说是一个不错的一周，但是他们应该带着一丝疑虑考虑。过去12个月，内部人员选择出售价值110万美元的股票，尽管价格相对较低，这可能表明一些预期的疲 weakness。
Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.
虽然我们不认为股东应该简单地跟随内部交易，但我们认为监控内部人士的行动是很合理的。
The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At QuantumScape
QuantumScape公司12个月内内部交易的最后12个月
In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the Chief Legal Officer & Head of Corporate Development, Michael McCarthy, sold US$316k worth of shares at a price of US$7.04 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even below the current price of US$8.37. We generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they did so below the current price, because it implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. 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 19% of Michael McCarthy's holding.
在过去的十二个月中，最大的内部买家是首席法务官兼公司发展负责人迈克尔·麦卡锡，他以每股7.04美元的价格出售了31.6万美元的股票。显然，内部交易者想从交易中获得一些现金，即使低于目前的8.37美元的价格。一般来说，如果内部交易者一直在以当前价格之下的价格出售，我们通常认为这是一个负面的信号，因为这意味着他们认为更低的价格是合理的。虽然内部交易者的卖出并不是一个积极的迹象，但我们不能确定它是否意味着内部交易者认为该股票已充分估值，所以这只是一个弱信号。有一点值得注意的是，这次交易只占迈克尔·麦卡锡所持股份的19％。

Does QuantumScape Boast High Insider Ownership?
QuantumScape是否拥有高内部所有权？
Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by insiders. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. It's great to see that QuantumScape insiders own 9.0% of the company, worth about US$402m. I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
许多投资者喜欢检查公司内部拥有多少股份。高内部所有权通常会使公司领导更加注意股东的利益。 QuantumScape内部交易者拥有公司的9.0％，价值约为4,0200万美元，这是一个很好的表现。我喜欢看到这种内部所有权的水平，因为它增加了管理层考虑股东最佳利益的机会。
