While PEXA Group Limited (ASX:PXA) shareholders have enjoyed a good week with stock up 26%, they need remain vigilant. Even though stock prices were relatively low, insiders elected to sell AU$1.8m worth of stock in the last year, which could indicate some expected downturn.

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 PEXA Group

In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the insider, Glenn King, sold AU$1.8m worth of shares at a price of AU$13.53 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even below the current price of AU$15.92. 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. While insider selling is not a positive sign, we can't be sure if it does mean insiders think the shares are fully valued, so it's only a weak sign. We note that the biggest single sale was only 11% of Glenn King's holding. Glenn King was the only individual insider to sell over the last year.

Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. We usually like to see fairly high levels of insider ownership. Insiders own 1.1% of PEXA Group shares, worth about AU$30m. We've certainly seen higher levels of insider ownership elsewhere, but these holdings are enough to suggest alignment between insiders and the other shareholders.
