Possible Bearish Signals With MSA Safety Insiders Disposing Stock
Possible Bearish Signals With MSA Safety Insiders Disposing Stock
Over the past year, many MSA Safety Incorporated (NYSE:MSA) 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.
在過去的一年裏,許多MSA Safety Incorporated(紐交所:MSA)內部人士出售了公司的大部分股份,這可能引起了投資者的興趣。在評估內幕交易時,了解內部人士是否在買入通常比了解他們是否在賣出更有利,因爲後者可能會有許多不同解讀。然而,如果有許多內部人士在賣出,股東們就應該進行更深入的調查。
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.
雖然我們不認爲股東應該簡單地跟隨內部交易,但我們認爲關注內部人員的操作是完全合乎邏輯的。
MSA Safety Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
過去一年中的MSA Safety內部交易
In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the Non-Executive Chairman, Nishan Vartanian, sold US$2.0m worth of shares at a price of US$185 per share. While we don't usually like to see insider selling, it's more concerning if the sales take place at a lower price. The good news is that this large sale was at well above current price of US$166. So it may not tell us anything about how insiders feel about the current share price.
在過去十二個月中,一位內部人士最大的單筆交易是非執行主席Nishan Vartanian以每股185美元的價格出售了價值200萬美元的股份。雖然我們通常不太喜歡看到內部人士出售股份,但如果銷售價格較低,則更令人擔憂。好消息是,這筆大宗交易的價格遠高於當前166美元的股價。因此,這可能不會告訴我們內部人士對當前股價的看法。

Over the last three months, we've seen significant insider selling at MSA Safety. In total, Non-Executive Chairman Nishan Vartanian sold US$1.9m worth of shares in that time, and we didn't record any purchases whatsoever. In light of this it's hard to argue that all the insiders think that the shares are a bargain.
在過去的三個月中,我們看到了msa safety發生了大量的內部人員出售股票。在那段時間裏,非執行主席Nishan Vartanian出售了價值190萬美元的股票,而我們並沒有記錄任何採購。鑑於這一情況,很難爭辯說所有內部人員都認爲這些股票是划算的。
Does MSA Safety Boast High Insider Ownership?
MSA Safety是否擁有高內部人員持股?
Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. MSA Safety insiders own about US$352m worth of shares (which is 5.4% of the company). I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
另一種測試公司領導者與其他股東之間對齊情況的方法是查看他們擁有多少股份。我認爲,如果內部人士在公司中擁有大量股份,這是一個好跡象。MSA Safety內部人士持有價值約35200萬美元的股份(佔公司5.4%)。我喜歡看到這種水平的內部人士持股,因爲這增加了管理層考慮股東最佳利益的可能性。
