Have Insiders Sold P.E. Analytics Shares Recently?

We wouldn't blame P.E. Analytics Limited (NSE:PROPEQUITY) shareholders if they were a little worried about the fact that Samir Jasuja, the MD & Director recently netted about ₹59m selling shares at an average price of ₹297. However, that sale only accounted for 2.7% of their holding, so arguably it doesn't say much about their conviction.

Insider Ownership

For a common shareholder, it is worth checking how many shares are held by company insiders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. P.E. Analytics insiders own 69% of the company, currently worth about ₹2.0b based on the recent share price. This kind of significant ownership by insiders does generally increase the chance that the company is run in the interest of all shareholders.
