Coslight Technology International Group Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
Notably, that recent sale by Co-Founder Ke Xue Li was not the only time they sold Coslight Technology International Group shares this year. They previously made an even bigger sale of -HK$315.6k worth of shares at a price of HK$1.61 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even slightly below the current price of HK$1.62. As a general rule we consider it to be discouraging when insiders are selling below the current price, because it suggests they were happy with a lower valuation. However, while insider selling is sometimes discouraging, it's only a weak signal. It is worth noting that this sale was only 40% of Ke Xue Li's holding.
Ke Xue Li sold a total of 224000 shares over the year at an average price of CN¥1.61. You can see the insider transactions (by individuals) over the last year depicted in the chart below. By clicking on the graph below, you can see the precise details of each insider transaction!
