We'd be surprised if Prozone Realty Limited (NSE:PROZONER) shareholders haven't noticed that the Deputy MD & Director, Salil Chaturvedi, recently sold ₹15m worth of stock at ₹29.82 per share. However, the silver lining is that the sale only reduced their total holding by 3.6%, so we're hesitant to read anything much into it, on its own.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Prozone Realty

Notably, that recent sale by Salil Chaturvedi is the biggest insider sale of Prozone Realty shares that we've seen in the last year. That means that even when the share price was slightly below the current price of ₹30.13, an insider wanted to cash in some shares. As a general rule we consider it to be discouraging when insiders are selling below the current price, because it suggests they were happy with a lower 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. This single sale was just 3.6% of Salil Chaturvedi's stake.

Does Prozone Realty Boast High Insider Ownership?

I like to look at how many shares insiders own in a company, to help inform my view of how aligned they are with insiders. We usually like to see fairly high levels of insider ownership. Prozone Realty insiders own about ₹1.1b worth of shares. That equates to 25% of the company. We've certainly seen higher levels of insider ownership elsewhere, but these holdings are enough to suggest alignment between insiders and the other shareholders.
