Some Huijing Holdings Company Limited (HKG:9968) shareholders may be a little concerned to see that the Chairman of the Board, Ruixiang Lun, recently sold a substantial HK$15m worth of stock at a price of HK$0.19 per share. However, it's crucial to note that they remain very much invested in the stock and that sale only reduced their holding by 2.0%.
Notably, that recent sale by Ruixiang Lun is the biggest insider sale of Huijing Holdings shares that we've seen in the last year. So what is clear is that an insider saw fit to sell at around the current price of HK$0.17. We generally don't like to see insider selling, but the lower the sale price, the more it concerns us. In this case, the big sale took place at around the current price, so it's not too bad (but it's still not a positive).
Ruixiang Lun sold a total of 140.00m shares over the year at an average price of CN¥0.14.
