Anyone interested in Enfusion, Inc. (NYSE:ENFN) should probably be aware that the Chief Operating Officer, Neal Pawar, recently divested US$191k worth of shares in the company, at an average price of US$9.92 each. The eyebrow raising move amounted to a reduction of 11% in their holding.
Enfusion Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider sale was by the CEO & Director, Oleg Movchan, for US$1.0m worth of shares, at about US$10.01 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even slightly below the current price of US$10.13. 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. Please do note, however, that sellers may have a variety of reasons for selling, so we don't know for sure what they think of the stock price. We note that the biggest single sale was only 8.0% of Oleg Movchan's holding.

Does Enfusion Boast High Insider Ownership?
I like to look at how many shares insiders own in a company, to help inform my view of how aligned they are with insiders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. Enfusion insiders own about US$102m worth of shares (which is 7.8% of the company). Most shareholders would be happy to see this sort of insider ownership, since it suggests that management incentives are well aligned with other shareholders.
