Camlin Fine Sciences Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

In fact, the recent sale by Arjun Dukane was the biggest sale of Camlin Fine Sciences shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. That means that even when the share price was slightly below the current price of ₹124, 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. 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.
