We'd be surprised if Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMRX) shareholders haven't noticed that the Independent Director, Deborah Autor, recently sold US$256k worth of stock at US$6.74 per share. The eyebrow raising move amounted to a reduction of 29% in their holding.

Amneal Pharmaceuticals Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

Notably, that recent sale by Deborah Autor is the biggest insider sale of Amneal Pharmaceuticals shares that we've seen in the last year. So what is clear is that an insider saw fit to sell at around the current price of US$6.69. We generally don't like to see insider selling, but the lower the sale price, the more it concerns us. We note that this sale took place at around the current price, so it isn't a major concern, though it's hardly a good sign.

In the last year Amneal Pharmaceuticals insiders didn't buy any company stock. The chart below shows insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year. If you want to know exactly who sold, for how much, and when, simply click on the graph below!

Insider Ownership Of Amneal Pharmaceuticals

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. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. Amneal Pharmaceuticals insiders own about US$1.1b worth of shares (which is 53% of the company). I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.

So What Does This Data Suggest About Amneal Pharmaceuticals Insiders?

An insider sold stock recently, but they haven't been buying. And there weren't any purchases to give us comfort, over the last year. While insiders do own a lot of shares in the company (which is good), our analysis of their transactions doesn't make us feel confident about the company. So while it's helpful to know what insiders are doing in terms of buying or selling, it's also helpful to know the risks that a particular company is facing. For example, Amneal Pharmaceuticals has 3 warning signs (and 1 which shouldn't be ignored) we think you should know about.

But note: Amneal Pharmaceuticals may not be the best stock to buy. So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies with high ROE and low debt.
