The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings
In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when the President & CEO of Norwegian Brand, Andrew Stuart, sold US$1.3m worth of shares at a price of US$50.02 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even slightly below the current price of US$50.21. 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 7.8% of Andrew Stuart's holding.
