Kratos Defense & Security Solutions Insiders Sell US$2.5m Of Stock, Possibly Signalling Caution
The fact that multiple Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc. (NASDAQ:KTOS) 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, if numerous insiders are selling, shareholders should investigate more.
在過去的一年中,多位Kratos國防與安全解決方案公司(納斯達克股票代碼:KTOS)內部人士拋售了大量股票,這一事實可能會引起投資者的關注。在評估內幕交易時,了解內部人士是否在買入通常更有幫助,因爲內幕賣出可以有多種解釋。但是,如果有許多內部人士出售,股東應該進行更多調查。
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.
儘管我們認爲股東不應簡單地關注內幕交易,但我們確實認爲密切關注內部人士的所作所爲是完全合乎邏輯的。
The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Kratos Defense & Security Solutions
Kratos Defense & Security Solutions 的最近 12 個月的內幕交易
In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the President of Microwave Electronics Division, Yonah Adelman, sold US$1.1m worth of shares at a price of US$16.50 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even below the current price of US$18.49. 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. However, while insider selling is sometimes discouraging, it's only a weak signal. This single sale was just 50% of Yonah Adelman's stake.
在過去的十二個月中,一位內部人士最大的一次出售是微波電子事業部總裁約納·阿德爾曼(Yonah Adelman)以每股16.50美元的價格出售了價值110萬美元的股票。因此,很明顯,一位內部人士想從桌上提取一些現金,甚至低於當前的18.49美元價格。通常,當內部人士以低於當前價格的價格出售時,我們認爲這令人沮喪,因爲這表明他們對較低的估值感到滿意。但是,儘管內幕銷售有時令人沮喪,但這只是一個微弱的信號。此次出售僅佔約納·阿德爾曼股份的50%。
