Simply Wall St · 1d ago

Over the past year, many ATI Inc. (NYSE:ATI) insiders sold a significant stake in the company which may have piqued investors' interest. Knowing whether insiders are buying is usually more helpful when evaluating insider transactions, as insider selling can have various explanations. However, if numerous insiders are selling, shareholders should investigate more.

While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.

ATI Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the Independent Director, David Morehouse, sold US$885k worth of shares at a price of US$52.03 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even below the current price of US$100. As a general rule we consider it to be discouraging when insiders are selling below the current price, because it suggests they were happy with a lower valuation. Please do note, however, that sellers may have a variety of reasons for selling, so we don't know for sure what they think of the stock price. It is worth noting that this sale was only 26% of David Morehouse's holding.
