Green Dot Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
The Independent Director, Rajeev Date, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$279k worth of shares at a price of US$44.53 each. We generally don't like to see insider selling, but the lower the sale price, the more it concerns us. The silver lining is that this sell-down took place above the latest price (US$18.75). So it is hard to draw any strong conclusion from it.

Does Green Dot Boast High Insider Ownership?
Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by 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. Green Dot insiders own about US$14m worth of shares. That equates to 1.4% of the company. While this is a strong but not outstanding level of insider ownership, it's enough to indicate some alignment between management and smaller shareholders.
So What Do The Green Dot Insider Transactions Indicate?
There haven't been any insider transactions in the last three months -- that doesn't mean much. We don't take much encouragement from the transactions by Green Dot insiders. The modest level of insider ownership is, at least, some comfort. 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. To assist with this, we've discovered 1 warning sign that you should run your eye over to get a better picture of Green Dot.

業內人士在綠點公司(紐約證券交易所代碼:GDOT)在過去一年中以每股36.53美元的平均價格出售了價值47.5萬美元的股票,充分利用了他們的投資。在上週股價下跌10%後,該公司市值暴跌1.13億美元,但內部人士能夠在一定程度上限制他們的損失。
儘管我們不認為股東應該簡單地追隨內幕交易,但我們認為完全忽視內幕交易是愚蠢的。

去年綠點公司的內幕交易
獨立董事,Rajeev Date,在過去12個月裏進行了最大的內幕交易。這一筆交易是以每股44.53美元的價格收購了價值2.79億美元的股票。我們通常不喜歡看到內幕銷售,但售價越低,我們就越擔心。一線希望是,這次拋售發生在最新價格(18.75美元)之上。因此,很難從中得出任何強有力的結論。

綠點公司是否擁有很高的內部人持股?
許多投資者喜歡查看一家公司有多少股份是由內部人士持有的。通常,內部人持股越高,內部人就越有可能受到激勵,建立長期的公司。綠點集團內部人士持有價值約1400萬美元的股票。這相當於該公司1.4%的股份。雖然這是一個強大但並不突出的內部人持股水平,但這足以表明管理層和小股東之間的某種一致性。
那麼,綠點內幕交易表明了什麼?
過去三個月沒有發生任何內幕交易--這並不意味着什麼。我們不會從綠點內部人士的交易中獲得太多鼓勵。內部人士持股的適度程度至少讓人感到些許安慰。雖然我們喜歡知道內部人士的所有權和交易情況,但在做出任何投資決定之前,我們也要確保考慮到一隻股票面臨的風險。為了幫助這一點,我們發現1個警告標誌你應該掃視一下才能更清楚地看到綠點。
