Many SouthState Corporation (NASDAQ:SSB) insiders ditched their stock over the past year, which may be of interest to the company's shareholders. When evaluating insider transactions, knowing whether insiders are buying versus if they selling is usually more beneficial, as the latter can be open to many interpretations. However, if numerous insiders are selling, shareholders should investigate more.
While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At SouthState
The insider, Douglas Williams, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$1.6m worth of shares at a price of US$85.06 each. So we know that an insider sold shares at around the present share price of US$80.07. While we don't usually like to see insider selling, it's more concerning if the sales take place at a lower price. In this case, the big sale took place at around the current price, so it's not too bad (but it's still not a positive).
In total, SouthState insiders sold more than they bought over the last year. The chart below shows insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year. By clicking on the graph below, you can see the precise details of each insider transaction!

I will like SouthState better if I see some big insider buys. While we wait, check out this free list of growing companies with considerable, recent, insider buying.
Insiders At SouthState Have Sold Stock Recently
The last quarter saw substantial insider selling of SouthState shares. Specifically, insiders ditched US$4.7m worth of shares in that time, and we didn't record any purchases whatsoever. In light of this it's hard to argue that all the insiders think that the shares are a bargain.
Does SouthState Boast High Insider Ownership?
I like to look at how many shares insiders own in a company, to help inform my view of how aligned they are with insiders. Usually, the higher the insider ownership, the more likely it is that insiders will be incentivised to build the company for the long term. SouthState insiders own about US$83m worth of shares. That equates to 1.4% of the company. We've certainly seen higher levels of insider ownership elsewhere, but these holdings are enough to suggest alignment between insiders and the other shareholders.
What Might The Insider Transactions At SouthState Tell Us?
Insiders haven't bought SouthState stock in the last three months, but there was some selling. Despite some insider buying, the longer term picture doesn't make us feel much more positive. But since SouthState is profitable and growing, we're not too worried by this. Insiders own shares, but we're still pretty cautious, given the history of sales. So we'd only buy after careful consideration. 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. For example - SouthState has 2 warning signs we think you should be aware of.
Of course SouthState may not be the best stock to buy. So you may wish to see this free collection of high quality companies.

虽然我们永远不会建议投资者应该完全根据公司董事的所作所为做出决定,但我们认为完全忽视内幕交易是愚蠢的。

南州拥有高度的内部人所有权吗?
我喜欢看内部人士在一家公司持有多少股份,以帮助我了解他们与内部人士的关系。通常,内部人持股越高,内部人就越有可能受到激励,建立长期的公司。南州内部人士持有价值约8300万美元的股票。这相当于该公司1.4%的股份。我们当然在其他地方看到了更高水平的内部人持股,但这些持股足以表明内部人和其他股东之间的关系。
南州大学的内幕交易可能会告诉我们什么?
内部人士在过去三个月里没有买入南州大学的股票,但出现了一些抛售。尽管有一些内部人士买入,但更长期的前景并没有让我们感觉更积极。但由于南州大学是盈利的,而且还在增长,我们并不太担心这一点。内部人士持有股票,但考虑到销售历史,我们仍然相当谨慎。因此,我们只有在仔细考虑后才会购买。虽然我们喜欢知道内部人士的所有权和交易情况,但在做出任何投资决定之前,我们也要确保考虑到一只股票面临的风险。例如-南州有2个警告标志我们认为你应该意识到。
