Have Insiders Sold Xometry Shares Recently?

Anyone interested in Xometry, Inc. (NASDAQ:XMTR) should probably be aware that the Co-Founder, Randolph Altschuler, recently divested US$302k worth of shares in the company, at an average price of US$32.39 each. However, the silver lining is that the sale only reduced their total holding by 0.4%, so we're hesitant to read anything much into it, on its own.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Xometry

The insider, Matthew Leibel, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$498k worth of shares at a price of US$30.08 each. So it's clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even below the current price of US$34.49. 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. 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. This single sale was just 35% of Matthew Leibel's stake.
