Looking at Kingsoft Corporation Limited's (HKG:3888 ) insider transactions over the last year, we can see that insiders were net sellers. That is, there were more number of shares sold by insiders than there were purchased.

While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.

Kingsoft Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider sale was by the Non-Executive Director, Pak Kwan Kau, for HK$103m worth of shares, at about HK$34.28 per share. While insider selling is a negative, to us, it is more negative if the shares are sold at a lower price. It's of some comfort that this sale was conducted at a price well above the current share price, which is HK$26.90. So it may not tell us anything about how insiders feel about the current share price. The only individual insider seller over the last year was Pak Kwan Kau.

Pak Kwan Kau divested 5.00m shares over the last 12 months at an average price of CN¥35.27. 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!

Does Kingsoft 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. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. It's great to see that Kingsoft insiders own 20% of the company, worth about HK$7.3b. This kind of significant ownership by insiders does generally increase the chance that the company is run in the interest of all shareholders.
