Over the past year, many REX American Resources Corporation (NYSE:REX) insiders sold a significant stake in the company which may have piqued investors' interest. 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, when multiple insiders sell stock over a specific duration, shareholders should take notice as that could possibly be a red flag.
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.
The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At REX American Resources
The Executive Chairman & Head of Corporate Development, Stuart Rose, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$1.2m worth of shares at a price of US$59.65 each. We generally don't like to see insider selling, but the lower the sale price, the more it concerns us. It's of some comfort that this sale was conducted at a price well above the current share price, which is US$42.72. So it may not shed much light on insider confidence at current levels.
