Share
Listen to the news

The fact that multiple Ameriprise Financial, Inc. (NYSE:AMP) insiders offloaded a considerable amount of shares over the past year could have raised some eyebrows amongst investors. Knowing whether insiders are buying is usually more helpful when evaluating insider transactions, as insider selling can have various explanations. However, shareholders should take a deeper look if several insiders are selling stock over a specific time period.

While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Ameriprise Financial

In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the Executive VP, Walter Berman, sold US$4.4m worth of shares at a price of US$551 per share. That means that an insider was selling shares at around the current price of US$519. We generally don't like to see insider selling, but the lower the sale price, the more it concerns us. In this case, the big sale took place at around the current price, so it's not too bad (but it's still not a positive).
