The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Computer Modelling Group

Notably, that recent sale by Vice Chairman of the Board Kenneth Dedeluk was not the only time they sold Computer Modelling Group shares this year. Earlier in the year, they fetched CA$5.10 per share in a -CA$1.1m sale. That means that even when the share price was below the current price of CA$6.04, 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. However, while insider selling is sometimes discouraging, it's only a weak signal. It is worth noting that this sale was only 14% of Kenneth Dedeluk's holding.
