We note that the Brandywine Realty Trust (NYSE:BDN) Executive VP & CFO, Thomas Wirth, recently sold US$69k worth of stock for US$13.77 per share. On the bright side, that’s just a small sale and only reduced their holding by 2.1%. See our latest analysis for Brandywine Realty Trust The Executive VP of Life Science & Regional Managing Director – PA Region, H. DeVuono, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$311k worth of shares at a price of US$13.70 each. That means that even when the share price was below the current price of US$14.16, an insider wanted to cash in some shares. 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. While insider selling is not a positive sign, we can’t be sure if it does mean insiders think the shares are fully valued, so it’s only a weak sign. This single sale was just 8.9% of H. DeVuono’s stake. Insiders in Brandywine Realty Trust didn’t buy any shares in the last year.
