Q32 Bio Insiders Benefit From Selling Stock At US$2.86

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

While it’s been a great week for Q32 Bio Inc. (NASDAQ:QTTB) shareholders after stock gained 52%, company insiders might have missed out on those gains after selling stock earlier this year. Had they waited, they might have been able to sell their stock at much higher prices and thereby received a better value on their investment.

While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether.

In fact, the recent sale by Jodie Morrison was the biggest sale of Q32 Bio shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. That means that an insider was selling shares at around the current price of US$3.32. We generally don't like to see insider selling, but the lower the sale price, the more it concerns us. Given that the sale took place at around current prices, it makes us a little cautious but is hardly a major concern.
