Sysco Corporation's (NYSE:SYY) stock rose 8.6% last week, but insiders who sold US$186k worth of stock over the last year are probably in a more advantageous position. Selling at an average price of US$82.14, which is higher than the current price might have been the right call as holding on to stock would have meant their investment would be worth less now than it was at the time of sale.
While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.

Sysco Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider sale was by the Independent Director, Sheila Talton, for US$186k worth of shares, at about US$82.14 per share. That means that an insider was selling shares at around the current price of US$80.05. While insider selling is a negative, to us, it is more negative if the shares are sold 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). Sheila Talton was the only individual insider to sell shares in the last twelve months.

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. We usually like to see fairly high levels of insider ownership. Sysco insiders own about US$67m worth of shares. That equates to 0.2% 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 Do The Sysco 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 Sysco insiders. But we do like the fact that insiders own a fair chunk of 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. To assist with this, we've discovered 1 warning sign that you should run your eye over to get a better picture of Sysco.
Of course Sysco may not be the best stock to buy. So you may wish to see this free collection of high quality companies.

Sysco Corporation(NYSE:SYY)的股票上周上涨了8.6%,但去年出售了价值1.86万亿美元股票的内部人士可能处于更有利的地位。以82.14美元的平均价格出售,这可能是正确的选择,因为持有股票将意味着他们的投资现在的价值将低于出售时。
尽管就长期投资而言,内幕交易并不是最重要的事情,但我们确实认为,密切关注内部人士的所作所为是完全合乎逻辑的。

Sysco去年的内幕交易
过去一年,我们可以看到,最大的内幕出售是独立董事希拉·塔尔顿以每股约82.14美元的价格购买了价值1.86万美元的股票。这意味着一位内部人士正在以目前80.05美元左右的价格出售股票。虽然内幕出售是负面的,但对我们来说,如果股票以更低的价格出售,负面影响就更大。在这种情况下,大笔交易发生在大约当前的价格,所以它不是太糟糕(但它仍然不是一个积极的)。希拉·塔尔顿是过去12个月里唯一一位出售股票的个人内部人士。

内部人持股
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。我们通常希望看到相当高水平的内部人士持股。Sysco内部人士持有价值约6700万美元的股票。这相当于该公司0.2%的股份。这种内部人持股水平是不错的,但还不够特别突出。这当然表明了一种合理的一致性。
那么,Sysco Insider的交易表明了什么?
过去三个月没有发生任何内幕交易--这并不意味着什么。我们不会从Sysco内部人士的交易中获得太多鼓励。但我们确实喜欢这样一个事实,即内部人士拥有公司的相当大一部分股份。因此,虽然了解内部人士在买入或卖出方面做了什么是有帮助的,但了解一家特定公司面临的风险也是有帮助的。为了帮助这一点,我们发现1个警告标志你应该扫视一下,才能更好地了解西斯科。
当然了Sysco可能不是最值得买入的股票。所以你可能想看看这个免费汇集了高质量的公司。
