Why Insider Transactions Matter
Tracking insider buying and selling activities provides investors with valuable signals about potential company developments. Insiders possess unique insights into their companies’ prospects, and their trading decisions may reflect their confidence in future performance. While insider buying often suggests executives believe shares are undervalued or positive developments are forthcoming, selling can occur for various reasons including diversification, tax planning, or personal financial needs. Investors should consider insider transactions as just one factor in their broader investment research, looking for patterns rather than reacting to individual transactions.
