That single transaction was for US$5.2m worth of shares at a price of US$64.55 each.    That means that even when the share price was  slightly  below the current price of US$65.02, an insider wanted to cash in some shares.  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.  However, while insider selling is sometimes discouraging, it's only a weak signal.   We note that the biggest single sale was only 22% of Kenneth Burdick's holding.       Centene insiders didn't buy any shares over the last year.    The chart below shows insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year.

Insider Ownership Of Centene  Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own.  Usually, the higher the insider ownership, the more likely it is that insiders will be incentivised to build the company for the long term.   Centene insiders own 0.4% of the company, currently worth about US$114m based on the recent share price.  Most shareholders would be happy to see this sort of insider ownership, since it suggests that management incentives are well aligned with other shareholders.   So What Does This Data Suggest About Centene Insiders?  Insiders haven't  bought Centene stock in the last three months, but there was some selling.     And even if we look at the last year, we didn't see any purchases.    The company boasts high insider ownership, but we're a little hesitant, given the history of share sales.      While it's good to be aware of 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.
