Insider selling alerts: what to watch

Insider selling alerts can be useful, but they need context. Executives may sell shares for taxes, diversification, planned trading programs or personal liquidity. A sale is not automatically a negative signal.

Useful context for insider sales

• Whether the transaction was planned or open-market.
• The insider role and how much ownership remains.
• The size of the sale compared with past transactions.
• Whether several insiders sold around the same period.
• The source filing and reported transaction code.

What to avoid

Avoid treating a single sale as a complete investment thesis. Public filings are research inputs. They become more useful when combined with company fundamentals, valuation, news and broader market context.
