Lakeland Financial Insiders Sold US$4.4m Of Shares Suggesting Hesitancy
Lakeland Financial Insiders Sold US$4.4m Of Shares Suggesting Hesitancy
Over the past year, many Lakeland Financial Corporation (NASDAQ:LKFN) insiders sold a significant stake in the company which may have piqued investors' interest. When evaluating insider transactions, knowing whether insiders are buying is usually more beneficial than knowing whether they are selling, as the latter can be open to many interpretations. However, if numerous insiders are selling, shareholders should investigate more.
在过去的一年中，许多莱克兰金融股份有限公司（纳斯达克：LKFN）内部人士出售了公司的大量股份，这可能引起了投资者的兴趣。 在评估内部交易时，了解内部人员是否购买通常比了解他们是否出售更有益，因为后者可以有许多解释。 然而，如果许多内部人员出售，股东应该进行更多调查。
Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.
虽然我们不认为股东应该简单地跟随内部交易，但我们认为监控内部人士的行动是很合理的。
Lakeland Financial Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
过去一年的莱克兰金融内部交易
Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider sale was by the insider, Michael Kubacki, for US$1.9m worth of shares, at about US$71.51 per share. We generally don't like to see insider selling, but the lower the sale price, the more it concerns us. The good news is that this large sale was at well above current price of US$61.52. So it may not shed much light on insider confidence at current levels.
在过去的一年中，我们可以看到，内部人员迈克尔·库巴克（Michael Kubacki）出售了价值190万美元的股票，每股售价约为71.51美元。 我们通常不喜欢看到内部人员出售股票，但是售价越低，我们就越担心。 好消息是，这次大规模售出的价格远高于目前的61.52美元。 因此，它对目前的内部信心可能没有太多启示。
Over the last year, we can see that insiders have bought 14.67k shares worth US$769k. On the other hand they divested 65.59k shares, for US$4.4m. In total, Lakeland Financial insiders sold more than they bought over the last year. The chart below shows insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year.

Lakeland Financial Insiders Are Selling The Stock
莱克兰金融内部人士正在抛售股票
We have seen a bit of insider selling at Lakeland Financial, over the last three months. Senior VP & Chief Human Resource Officer Kyra Clark only netted US$31k selling shares, in that period. Neither the lack of buying nor the presence of selling is heartening. But the amount sold isn't enough for us to put any weight on it.
在过去的三个月中，我们看到莱克兰金融有一些内部人员出售。 资深副总裁兼首席人力资源官凯拉·克拉克（Kyra Clark）在该时期内仅净售出了价值31,000美元的股票。 缺乏购买和存在销售都不令人鼓舞。 但出售的数量不足以让我们对其产生任何影响。
Insider Ownership
内部人员持股情况
Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. It appears that Lakeland Financial insiders own 2.9% of the company, worth about US$44m. While this is a strong but not outstanding level of insider ownership, it's enough to indicate some alignment between management and smaller shareholders.
测试公司领导和其他股东之间的一致性的另一种方法是查看他们拥有多少股份。 高内部所有权往往会使公司领导更加注意股东利益。 看起来，莱克兰金融内部人员拥有该公司的2.9％股份，价值约4400万美元。 虽然这是高但不是杰出的内部所有权水平，但足以表明管理层和小股东之间存在一些一致性。

那么，这些数据对莱克兰金融内部人员有什么含义？
While there has not been any insider buying in the last three months, there has been selling. But the sales were small, so we're not concerned. Recent insider selling makes us a little nervous, in light of the broader picture of Lakeland Financial insider transactions. But we do like the fact that insiders own a fair chunk of the company. So these insider transactions can help us build a thesis about the stock, but it's also worthwhile knowing the risks facing this company. Case in point: We've spotted 1 warning sign for Lakeland Financial you should be aware of.
过去三个月内没有内部人员购买，但有出售。 但是销售金额较小，因此我们不担心。 最近的内部销售使我们对莱克兰金融内部交易的整体情况有点紧张。 但我们确实喜欢内部人员拥有公司的相当大一块股份。 因此，这些内部交易可以帮助我们建立有关股票的论点，但知道面临的风险也是值得的。 例如：我们注意到有1个有关莱克兰金融的警告信号，您应该知道。
