TCNS Clothing Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the insider, Arindam Chakravorty, sold ₹8.4m worth of shares at a price of ₹359 per share. That means that an insider was selling shares at slightly below the current price (₹452). We generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they did so below the current price, because it implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. 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. This single sale was just 16% of Arindam Chakravorty's stake.

Does TCNS Clothing Boast High Insider Ownership?

For a common shareholder, it is worth checking how many shares are held by company insiders. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. It's great to see that TCNS Clothing insiders own 44% of the company, worth about ₹12b. I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
