DCM Nouvelle Limited (NSE:DCMNVL) insiders made a handsome profit after selling stock presently valued at ₹170 apiece for ₹284

Last week, DCM Nouvelle Limited's (NSE:DCMNVL) stock jumped 11%, but insiders who sold ₹1.4m worth of stock in over the past year are likely to be in a better position. Selling at an average price of ₹284, which is higher than the current price might have been the right call as holding on to stock would have meant their investment would be worth less now than it was at the time of sale.

Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.

Our analysis indicates that DCMNVL is potentially undervalued!
