Insiders Sold EyePoint At US$15.75, Meanwhile Stock Sits Near US$2.99

Simply Wall St · 1d ago

EyePoint, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:EYPT) stock price has dropped 12% in the previous week, but insiders who sold US$410k in stock over the past year have had less luck. The average selling price of US$15.75 is still lower than the current share price, or in other words, insiders would have been better off holding on to their shares.

While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.

Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At EyePoint

In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the Chief Medical Officer, Ramiro Ribeiro, sold US$227k worth of shares at a price of US$17.10 per share. While insider selling is a negative, to us, it is more negative if the shares are sold at a lower price. The good news is that this large sale was at well above current price of US$2.99. So it may not tell us anything about how insiders feel about the current share price.

Over the last year, we can see that insiders have bought 12.10k shares worth US$72k. On the other hand they divested 26.02k shares, for US$410k. All up, insiders sold more shares in EyePoint than they bought, over the last year. They sold for an average price of about US$15.75. It is certainly not great to see that insiders have sold shares in the company. But we note that the selling, on average, was at well above the recently traded price of US$2.99.

Insider Ownership

I like to look at how many shares insiders own in a company, to help inform my view of how aligned they are with insiders. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. Our data suggests EyePoint insiders own 0.9% of the company, worth about US$2.6m. We consider this fairly low insider ownership.

So What Does This Data Suggest About EyePoint Insiders?

It is good to see the recent insider purchase. But we can't say the same for the transactions over the last 12 months. Neither the level of insider ownership, nor the transactions over the last twelve months inspire us, but we think the recent buying is positive. So while it's helpful to know what insiders are doing in terms of buying or selling, it's also helpful to know the risks that a particular company is facing.
