Some Jamf Holding Corp. (NASDAQ:JAMF) shareholders may be a little concerned to see that the CEO & Director, John Strosahl, recently sold a substantial US$586k worth of stock at a price of US$17.94 per share. However, it's crucial to note that they remain very much invested in the stock and that sale only reduced their holding by 3.0%.

Notably, that recent sale by John Strosahl is the biggest insider sale of Jamf Holding shares that we've seen in the last year.

While we don't usually like to see insider selling, it's more concerning if the sales take place at a lower price.
