The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Seer

Notably, that recent sale by Omid Farokhzad is the biggest insider sale of Seer shares that we've seen in the last year. So it's clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even slightly below the current price of US$2.10. 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 4.8% of Omid Farokhzad's holding.
