Why Monitor Insider Transactions

Tracking insider buying and selling can provide valuable insights for investors. When corporate insiders purchase shares of their own companies, it often signals confidence in future performance and potential undervaluation. Conversely, insider selling may occur for various reasons including portfolio diversification, tax planning, or personal financial needs, and doesn’t necessarily indicate negative outlook. However, large or coordinated selling patterns, especially among multiple insiders, might warrant closer attention. By monitoring these transactions, investors can gain additional context for their investment decisions, though insider activity should always be considered alongside fundamental analysis and broader market conditions.
