Ball Insiders Sold US$6.1m Of Shares Suggesting Hesitancy
Ball Insiders Sold US$6.1m Of Shares Suggesting Hesitancy
The fact that multiple Ball Corporation (NYSE:BALL) insiders offloaded a considerable amount of shares over the past year could have raised some eyebrows amongst investors. When analyzing insider transactions, it is usually more valuable to know whether insiders are buying versus knowing if they are selling, as the latter sends an ambiguous message. However, if numerous insiders are selling, shareholders should investigate more.
事实上，有多个鲍尔公司(纽约证券交易所股票代码：Ball)内部人士在过去一年中抛售了相当数量的股票，这可能会让投资者感到惊讶。在分析内幕交易时，通常更有价值的是知道内部人士是否在买入，而不是知道他们是否在卖出，因为后者发出了一个模棱两可的信息。然而，如果许多内部人士在抛售，股东们应该进行更多调查。
While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether.
尽管就长期投资而言，内幕交易并不是最重要的事情，但我们会认为完全忽视内幕交易是愚蠢的。

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Ball
鲍尔过去12个月的内幕交易
Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider sale was by the insider, John Hayes, for US$5.8m worth of shares, at about US$58.71 per share. While we don't usually like to see insider selling, it's more concerning if the sales take place at a lower price. The silver lining is that this sell-down took place above the latest price (US$45.16). So it may not shed much light on insider confidence at current levels.
过去一年，我们可以看到，最大的内幕出售是由内部人士约翰·海耶斯以每股58.71美元的价格购买了价值580万美元的股票。虽然我们通常不喜欢看到内幕出售，但如果以更低的价格出售，人们更担心的是。一线希望是，这次抛售发生在最新价格(45.16美元)之上。因此，在目前的水平上，这可能不会让人对内部人士的信心有太多了解。
Happily, we note that in the last year insiders paid US$452k for 8.40k shares. But insiders sold 104.32k shares worth US$6.1m. All up, insiders sold more shares in Ball than they bought, over the last year. You can see the insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year depicted in the chart below.

Insider Ownership Of Ball
Ball的内部人所有权
Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. Insiders own 0.6% of Ball shares, worth about US$86m. While this is a strong but not outstanding level of insider ownership, it's enough to indicate some alignment between management and smaller shareholders.
另一种测试公司领导人与其他股东之间一致性的方法是看他们拥有多少股份。我认为，如果内部人士持有该公司大量股份，这是一个好兆头。内部人士拥有Ball 0.6%的股份，价值约8600万美元。虽然这是一个强大但并不突出的内部人持股水平，但这足以表明管理层和小股东之间的某种一致性。
