BF Utilities Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

Notably, that recent sale by Ashok Kheny is the biggest insider sale of BF Utilities shares that we've seen in the last year. So it's clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even slightly below the current price of ₹971. 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. It is worth noting that this sale was 91% of Ashok Kheny's holding.

Insider Ownership

Looking at the total insider shareholdings in a company can help to inform your view of whether they are well aligned with common shareholders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. Insiders own 2.6% of BF Utilities shares, worth about ₹965m. This level of insider ownership is good but just short of being particularly stand-out. It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment.
