Insider selling can arise from various motivations such as diversification, tax planning, or personal financial needs. While significant selling activity may attract investor scrutiny, it does not inherently indicate negative sentiment toward the company. Investors are encouraged to consider insider transactions within the broader context of market trends and alongside other fundamental and technical indicators.
Insider transactions are required to be reported to the SEC, ensuring transparency regarding executives' views on their stock.
