What this transaction means for investors
On Sept. 10, Sundy sold 5,000 shares in a transaction valued at approximately $154,000. On the surface, it may sound worrisome that an insider is selling shares, given that the LZB stock price is down 12.7% over the past 12 months. In comparison, over the same period, the S&P 500 is up 15.3%. That said, upon further review of the transaction, this appears to be a routine sale. The reason is the number of shares sold and the number of shares Sundy still holds. While the insider sold 5,000 shares, he still holds 59,297 shares. That shows continued alignment with the company's success, so this transaction was likely just Sundy cashing in some of his stock.
