Many Uber Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:UBER) insiders ditched their stock over the past year, which may be of interest to the company’s shareholders. Knowing whether insiders are buying is usually more helpful when evaluating insider transactions, as insider selling can have various explanations. However, when multiple insiders sell stock over a specific duration, shareholders should take notice as that could possibly be a red flag.

Although we don’t think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.

In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the Senior VP, Derek West, sold US$3.3m worth of shares at a price of US$70.92 per share. So it’s clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even below the current price of US$98.51. 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. Please do note, however, that sellers may have a variety of reasons for selling, so we don’t know for sure what they think of the stock price. We note that the biggest single sale was only 34% of Derek West’s holding.
