AUTOSTREETS Development Limited (HKG:2443) saw its stock price plummet by 5.06% on Thursday during the intraday trading session. This significant decline came after the company's Chief Executive Officer, Hongliang Zhao, recently sold HK$2.7 million worth of AUTOSTREETS shares at HK$8.69 per share.
While the sale only reduced Zhao's total holding by 3.9%, the insider selling by the CEO could have negatively impacted investor sentiment towards the company. Insider selling, especially by top executives, is often viewed as a bearish signal by the market, as it may indicate a lack of confidence in the company's future prospects.
However, it's worth noting that the sale was conducted at a price well above AUTOSTREETS' current share price of HK$7.31, which could provide some comfort to investors. Additionally, insiders collectively still own a significant 24% stake in the company, worth around HK$1.5 billion, suggesting their interests are aligned with shareholders.
