Precio Fishbone Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the CISO, Stefan Hendén, sold kr543k worth of shares at a price of kr20.90 per share. That means that an insider was selling shares at slightly below the current price (kr21.40). When an insider sells below the current price, it suggests that they considered that lower price to be fair. That makes us wonder what they think of the (higher) recent valuation. However, while insider selling is sometimes discouraging, it's only a weak signal. This single sale was just 20% of Stefan Hendén's stake. The only individual insider seller over the last year was Stefan Hendén.
