Investors often monitor insider selling as it can provide insights into an insider's perspective on the value of the company's stock. While a single insider selling transaction may not be indicative of the company's future performance, a trend of insider sales could signal that insiders believe the stock may be fully valued or overvalued.
It is important for investors to consider the context of the insider transactions along with the company's performance, industry trends, and market conditions when evaluating the significance of insider selling activities.
