Viewing insider transactions for Foghorn Therapeutics Inc.'s (NASDAQ:FHTX ) over the last year, we see that insiders were net sellers. This means that a larger number of shares were sold by insiders in relation to shares purchased.

While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Foghorn Therapeutics

The insider, Fanny Cavalie, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$72k worth of shares at a price of US$6.56 each. That means that an insider was selling shares at around the current price of US$6.18. We generally don't like to see insider selling, but the lower the sale price, the more it concerns us. In this case, the big sale took place at around the current price, so it's not too bad (but it's still not a positive). Fanny Cavalie was the only individual insider to sell over the last year.

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. We usually like to see fairly high levels of insider ownership. Insiders own 8.2% of Foghorn Therapeutics shares, worth about US$28m. While this is a strong but not outstanding level of insider ownership, it's enough to indicate some alignment between management and smaller shareholders.
