The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At CACI International

In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the President of U.K. Operations & CEO of CACI Limited, Gregory Bradford, sold US$4.7m worth of shares at a price of US$303 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even below the current price of US$313. As a general rule we consider it to be discouraging when insiders are selling below the current price, because it suggests they were happy with a lower valuation. However, while insider selling is sometimes discouraging, it's only a weak signal. It is worth noting that this sale was only 26% of Gregory Bradford's holding.

It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment.
