Some Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. (NYSE:REXR) shareholders may be a little concerned to see that the General Counsel & Secretary, David Lanzer, recently sold a substantial US$827k worth of stock at a price of US$70.04 per share. That diminished their holding by a very significant 100%, which arguably implies a strong desire to reallocate capital. See our latest analysis for Rexford Industrial Realty Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider sale was by the Co-CEO & Director, Howard Schwimmer, for US$4.3m worth of shares, at about US$55.26 per share. So it’s clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even below the current price of US$69.86. We generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they did so below the current price, because it implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. 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 58% of Howard Schwimmer’s holding. In the last year Rexford Industrial Realty insiders didn’t buy any company stock.
