Airgain Insiders Miss 13% Gain After Offloading Stock

Simply Wall St

Even though Airgain, Inc. (NASDAQ:AIRG) stock gained 13% last week, insiders who sold US$132k worth of stock over the past year are probably better off. Selling at an average price of US$6.16, which is higher than the current price, may have been the best move for these insiders because their investment would have been worth less now than when they sold.

While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Airgain

Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider sale was by the CFO, Secretary and Principal Financial & Accounting Officer, Michael Elbaz, for US$62k worth of shares, at about US$9.09 per share. While insider selling is a negative, to us, it is more negative if the shares are sold at a lower price. The good news is that this large sale was at well above current price of US$4.80. So it is hard to draw any strong conclusion from it.
