TORM Insiders Sold US$17m Of Shares Suggesting Hesitancy

Simply Wall St · 6d ago

Over the past year, many TORM plc (CPH:TRMD A) insiders sold a significant stake in the company which may have piqued investors' interest. When evaluating insider transactions, knowing whether insiders are buying is usually more beneficial than knowing whether they are selling, as the latter can be open to many interpretations. However, if numerous insiders are selling, shareholders should investigate more.

Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At TORM

The CEO & Executive Director, Jacob Meldgaard, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for kr.17m worth of shares at a price of kr.128 each. So it's clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even below the current price of kr.133. 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. However, while insider selling is sometimes discouraging, it's only a weak signal. This single sale was 100% of Jacob Meldgaard's stake.
