Mangold Fondkommission Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider sale was by the Independent Director, Birgit Hoffmann, for kr652k worth of shares, at about kr1,070 per share. That means that even when the share price was below the current price of kr2,500, 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. However, while insider selling is sometimes discouraging, it's only a weak signal. It is worth noting that this sale was only 41% of Birgit Hoffmann's holding.

Happily, we note that in the last year insiders paid kr703k for 609.00 shares. But insiders sold 1.01k shares worth kr1.4m. In total, Mangold Fondkommission insiders sold more than they bought over the last year. The average sell price was around kr1,400. It's not too encouraging to see that insiders have sold at below the current price. But we wouldn't put too much weight on the insider selling.
