Have Linc Insiders Been Selling Stock?

We wouldn’t blame Linc AB (STO:LINC) shareholders if they were a little worried about the fact that Bengt Julander, the Chairman recently netted about kr46m selling shares at an average price of kr68.00. However, it’s crucial to note that they remain very much invested in the stock and that sale only reduced their holding by 2.1%.

Linc Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

In fact, the recent sale by Bengt Julander was the biggest sale of Linc shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. That means that even when the share price was below the current price of kr69.40, an insider wanted to cash in some shares. When an insider sells below the current price, it suggests that they considered that lower price to be fair. That makes us wonder what they think of the (higher) recent valuation. While insider selling is not a positive sign, we can’t be sure if it does mean insiders think the shares are fully valued, so it’s only a weak sign. We note that the biggest single sale was only 2.1% of Bengt Julander’s holding.

Over the last year we saw more insider selling of Linc shares, than buying. The chart below shows insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year. If you want to know exactly who sold, for how much, and when, simply click on the graph below!

For a common shareholder, it is worth checking how many shares are held by company insiders. Usually, the higher the insider ownership, the more likely it is that insiders will be incentivised to build the company for the long term. It’s great to see that Linc insiders own 62% of the company, worth about kr2.5b. I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
