InterGlobe Aviation Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

The insider, Summi Sharma, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for ₹42m worth of shares at a price of ₹1,736 each. That means that an insider was selling shares at slightly below the current price (₹1,852). 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. 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 37% of Summi Sharma's holding.

In the last twelve months insiders netted ₹234m for 148736 shares sold. Insiders in InterGlobe Aviation didn't buy any shares in the last year.

InterGlobe Aviation insiders own 24% of the company, currently worth about ₹171b based on the recent share price. I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
