Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Quite a few Paladin Energy Ltd (ASX:PDN) insiders sold their shares over the past year, which may be a cause for concern. Knowing whether insiders are buying is usually more helpful when evaluating insider transactions, as insider selling can have various explanations. However, shareholders should take a deeper look if several insiders are selling stock over a specific time period.

Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether.

Paladin Energy Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

The Independent Non-Executive Director, Peter Watson, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for AU$602k worth of shares at a price of AU$9.13 each. So we know that an insider sold shares at around the present share price of AU$8.32. While we don't usually like to see insider selling, it's more concerning if the sales take place at a lower price. In this case, the big sale took place at around the current price, so it's not too bad (but it's still not a positive).
