Over the past year, many TD SYNNEX Corporation (NYSE:SNX) insiders sold a significant stake in the company which may have piqued investors' interest. When evaluating insider transactions, knowing whether insiders are buying versus if they selling is usually more beneficial, as the latter can be open to many interpretations. However, when multiple insiders sell stock over a specific duration, shareholders should take notice as that could possibly be a red flag.

While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.

TD SYNNEX Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider sale was by the Chairman Emeritus, Feng-Chiang Miau, for US$4.2m worth of shares, at about US$95.51 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even below the current price of US$97.91. When an insider sells below the current price, it suggests that they considered that lower price to be fair. That makes us wonder what they think of the (higher) recent valuation. While insider selling is not a positive sign, we can't be sure if it does mean insiders think the shares are fully valued, so it's only a weak sign. This single sale was just 7.2% of Feng-Chiang Miau's stake.
