However, that sale only accounted for 9.5% of their holding, so arguably it doesn't say much about their conviction.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At LiveRamp Holdings

The Consultant, Warren Jenson, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$699k worth of shares at a price of US$23.37 each. That means that even when the share price was below the current price of US$33.41, an insider wanted to cash in some shares. When an insider sells below the current price, it suggests that they considered that lower price to be fair. That makes us wonder what they think of the (higher) recent valuation. 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. This single sale was just 12% of Warren Jenson's stake.
