EnPro Industries Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
The Executive VP & CFO, J. Childress, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$1.1m worth of shares at a price of US$108 each. We generally don't like to see insider selling, but the lower the sale price, the more it concerns us. It's of some comfort that this sale was conducted at a price well above the current share price, which is US$85.37. So it may not shed much light on insider confidence at current levels.
Happily, we note that in the last year insiders paid US$143k for 1.44k shares. But insiders sold 11.31k shares worth US$1.2m. All up, insiders sold more shares in EnPro Industries than they bought, over the last year.

Insider Ownership
Looking at the total insider shareholdings in a company can help to inform your view of whether they are well aligned with common shareholders. Usually, the higher the insider ownership, the more likely it is that insiders will be incentivised to build the company for the long term. EnPro Industries insiders own about US$17m worth of shares. That equates to 1.0% of the company. This level of insider ownership is good but just short of being particularly stand-out. It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment.
So What Does This Data Suggest About EnPro Industries Insiders?
It doesn't really mean much that no insider has traded EnPro Industries shares in the last quarter. Our analysis of EnPro Industries insider transactions leaves us cautious. But we do like the fact that insiders own a fair chunk of the company. While we like knowing what's going on with the insider's ownership and transactions, we make sure to also consider what risks are facing a stock before making any investment decision.
