Some Dream Finders Homes, Inc. (NYSE:DFH) shareholders may be a little concerned to see that the Non-Independent Director, William Lovett, recently sold a substantial US$2.0m worth of stock at a price of US$40.28 per share. However, it's crucial to note that they remain very much invested in the stock and that sale only reduced their holding by 1.0%.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Dream Finders Homes

Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider sale was by the Senior VP & COO, J. Moran, for US$3.8m worth of shares, at about US$31.00 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even below the current price of US$35.51. 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. We note that the biggest single sale was only 10% of J. Moran's holding.
