President & CEO Of Inwido Sold 95% Of Their Shares

We'd be surprised if Inwido AB (publ) (STO:INWI) shareholders haven't noticed that the President & CEO, Henrik Hjalmarsson, recently sold kr2.2m worth of stock at kr110 per share. Equally important, that sale actually reduced their holding by a full 95% which hardly makes us feel bullish about the stock.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Inwido

Notably, that recent sale by Henrik Hjalmarsson is the biggest insider sale of Inwido shares that we've seen in the last year. That means that even when the share price was below the current price of kr114, an insider wanted to cash in some shares. 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. We note that the biggest single sale was 95% of Henrik Hjalmarsson's holding.
