We wouldn’t blame Primerica, Inc. (NYSE:PRI) shareholders if they were a little worried about the fact that Peter Schneider, the President recently netted about US$503k selling shares at an average price of US$280. That sale reduced their total holding by 16% which is hardly insignificant, but far from the worst we’ve seen.
Trump has pledged to “unleash” American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.
Primerica Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the CEO & Director, Glenn Williams, sold US$656k worth of shares at a price of US$262 per share. So it’s clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even below the current price of US$280. 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. Please do note, however, that sellers may have a variety of reasons for selling, so we don’t know for sure what they think of the stock price. It is worth noting that this sale was only 6.4% of Glenn Williams’s holding.
