Kimberly-Clark Insiders Sell US$6.3m Of Stock, Possibly Signalling Caution
Kimberly-Clark Insiders Sell US$6.3m Of Stock, Possibly Signalling Caution
The fact that multiple Kimberly-Clark Corporation (NYSE:KMB) insiders offloaded a considerable amount of shares over the past year could have raised some eyebrows amongst investors. 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.
在過去一年中,多名金佰利公司(NYSE:KMB)內部人士出售了大量股票,這可能會引起投資者的注意。分析內部交易時,了解內部人員的買入情況比了解其賣出情況更有價值,因爲賣出股票會傳遞出一種模棱兩可的信息。但是,如果有多名內部人員出售股票,股東應該進行更多的調查。
Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether.
雖然我們不認爲股東應該簡單地跟隨內部交易,但完全忽略內部交易將是愚蠢的。
The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Kimberly-Clark
金佰利過去12個月的內部交易
The Chief Business & Transformation Officer, Jeffrey Melucci, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$1.9m worth of shares at a price of US$136 each. That means that even when the share price was below the current price of US$141, 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. However, while insider selling is sometimes discouraging, it's only a weak signal. It is worth noting that this sale was only 41% of Jeffrey Melucci's holding.
過去12個月內,首席業務和轉型官Jeffrey Melucci進行了最大規模的內部人士出售。這筆交易單筆價值190萬美元,每股價格爲136美元。這意味着即使股價低於目前的141美元,內部人員也想將一些股票換成現金。一般而言,當內部人員以低於目前價格的價格出售股票時,這是令人沮喪的,因爲這意味着他們對較低估值感到滿意。但是,雖然內部人員的出售有時會令人沮喪,但這只是一個薄弱的信號。值得注意的是,這次交易僅佔Jeffrey Melucci持股的41%。

Does Kimberly-Clark Boast High Insider Ownership?
金佰利是否擁有高內部人員持股比例?
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 appears that Kimberly-Clark insiders own 0.2% of the company, worth about US$89m. While this is a strong but not outstanding level of insider ownership, it's enough to indicate some alignment between management and smaller shareholders.
許多投資者喜歡檢查公司所有權的多少歸內部人員所有。高內部人員所有權往往會使公司領導更加關注股東利益。似乎金佰利的內部人員擁有該公司的0.2%,價值約9000萬美元。儘管這是一種強烈但不突出的內部人員所有權水平,但足以表明管理層與較小的股東之間存在某種對齊。
