New minor risk - Insider selling There has been significant insider selling in the company's shares over the past 3 months. Total value of shares sold: AU$9.6m This is considered a minor risk. There are several reasons why an insider may be selling, including to cover a tax obligation or pay for some other expense. However, we generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they do so below the current price. It implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. This is a weak signal, but if there is a pattern of unexplained selling, it can be a sign the insider believes the company's stock is overpriced. Note: We only include open market transactions and private dispositions of directly owned stock by individuals, not by corporations or trusts. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (14% operating cash flow to total debt). Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 157% Cash payout ratio: 234% Minor Risks Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (1.8% net profit margin). Significant insider selling over the past 3 months (AU$9.6m sold). Duyuru • Nov 02
