We often see insiders buying up shares in companies that perform well over the long term. On the other hand,the cracked pot warwick we’d be remiss not to mention that insider sales have been known to precede tough periods for a business. So shareholders might well want to know whether insiders have been buying or selling shares in Virtusa Corporation ( NASDAQ:VRTU ). What Is Insider Selling? It is perfectly legal for company insiders, including board members, to buy and sell stock in a company. However, most countries require that the company discloses such transactions to the market. We don’t think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions. But logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares. As Peter Lynch said, ‘insiders might sell their shares for any number of reasons, but they buy them for only one: they think the price will rise.’ Check out our latest analysis for Virtusa Virtusa Insider Transactions Over The Last Year In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when President of Digital Business Strategy Raj Rajgopal sold US$2.0m worth of shares at a price of US$50.01 per share. So what is clear is that an insider saw fit to sell at around the current price of US$40.70. They could have a variety of motivations for selling, but it’s still not particularly encouraging to see. We generally tread carefully if insiders have been selling on market, even if they sold slightly above the current price. We note that in the last year insiders divested 114.66k shares for a total of US$5.7m. Over the last year we saw more insider selling of Virtusa shares, than buying. The average sell price was around US$49.56. It’s not particularly great to see insiders were selling shares around current prices. But we don’t put too much weight on the insider selling, since sellers could have personal reasons. The chart below shows insider transactions over the last year.
