Property Franchise Group Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the CEO & Director, Gareth Samples, sold UK£73k worth of shares at a price of UK£2.71 per share. That means that an insider was selling shares at slightly below the current price (UK£3.55). 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. However, while insider selling is sometimes discouraging, it’s only a weak signal. It is worth noting that this sale was only 16% of Gareth Samples’s holding. The only individual insider seller over the last year was Gareth Samples.
