Insiders who sold Kimco Realty Corporation’s (NYSE:KIM) earlier this year didn’t have to weather this week’s 3.6% slide

December 16, 2021 by Staff Reporter

Kimco Realty Corporation’s (NYSE:KIM) stock price has dropped 3.6% in the previous week, but insiders who sold US$2.0m in stock over the past year have had less luck. Insiders would probably have been better off holding on to their shares given that the average selling price of US$22.25 is still lower than the current share price.

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.

Kimco Realty Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider sale was by the Executive VP & COO, David Jamieson, for US$2.0m worth of shares, at about US$22.25 per share. So it’s clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even below the current price of US$22.81. When an insider sells below the current price, it suggests that they considered that lower price to be fair. That makes us wonder what they think of the (higher) recent 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 42% of David Jamieson’s holding. David Jamieson was the only individual insider to sell shares in the last twelve months.

Does Kimco Realty Boast High Insider Ownership?

Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by insiders. We usually like to see fairly high levels of insider ownership. Kimco Realty insiders own 2.7% of the company, currently worth about US$380m based on the recent share price. This kind of significant ownership by insiders does generally increase the chance that the company is run in the interest of all shareholders.

So What Do The Kimco Realty Insider Transactions Indicate?

The fact that there have been no Kimco Realty insider transactions recently certainly doesn’t bother us. While we feel good about high insider ownership of Kimco Realty, we can’t say the same about the selling of shares. While we like knowing what’s going on with the insider’s ownership and transactions, we make sure to also consider what risks are facing a stock before making any investment decision.
