Viewing insider transactions for Nicco Parks & Resorts Limited's (NSE:NICCOPAR ) over the last year, we see that insiders were net sellers. This means that a larger number of shares were sold by insiders in relation to shares purchased.
While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.
Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider sale was by the insider, Angshuman Ghosh, for ₹42m worth of shares, at about ₹85.67 per share. That means that an insider was selling shares at around the current price of ₹85.35. While insider selling is a negative, to us, it is more negative if the shares are sold 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). The only individual insider seller over the last year was Angshuman Ghosh.
