Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider sale was by the Chief Technology Officer, Yanda Ma, for US$387k worth of shares, at about US$6.45 per share.

Does Airship AI Holdings Boast High 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.

This kind of significant ownership by insiders does generally increase the chance that the company is run in the interest of all shareholders.
