Continue to Buy in 4 Years! Should We Take CEO Buying/Selling Seriously?

Gelsinger paid $252,000 on Aug. 5 for 12,500 $Intel(INTC)$ shares, an average price of $20.16. You may think that $25k is no big money.

But his persistence can't be ignored. Intel CEO continues to buy the stock in the past 4 years.

Some investors view this a bullish signal. One WSB user said that,

There are two reasons to explain people's buying and selling.

Reasons to sell: 1) they want to not lose money 2) they want to shift resources elsewhere

Reasons to buy: 1) they want to make money

Another US investor said that,

Intel's potential failure poses a national security risk due to reliance on foreign fabs, making it a long-term buy.

However, others believe Intel CEO's stock purchase is just like we buy peanuts in the store.

Intel's CEO buying minimal shares while selling awards and giving himself a raise isn't a strong bullish signal.

It mirrors tactics like those seen at CVNA, where executives bought small amounts while profiting massively from covid bull market.

Another notable CEO stock trade is $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$’s CEO sale in recent months. Click to learn more: Is Jensen's Stock Sale Similar to Musk's Action in 2022?

How do you view $Intel(INTC)$ CEO’s continous buying?

Is it a bullish signal or not?

Should we take CEO’s buying or selling seriously?

    I don't think we should tale CEO's buying or selling seriously since it might be their personal preference or company tactics or whatever. Just do your own risk analysis before trading.

    Should take note of CEO buying/selling news and read up more on reasons & amount transacted for decision making. But small investors are slow to impactful news and have to follow through with the market response.

    CEO selling NO. Everyone sells for various reasons. So dont care. Most impt is company mush be fundamentally good.
    CEO buying is good but preferably if CEO is also founder, not parachute in one... Again, must check company track record and moat. For INTC, the party's over.

    250k not 25k, so 250k is huge amount for common investors and only the one have love for the company and have money to park will do that because the person has the confidence it will not collapse. Just my opinion not investment advice.
    Intel shares had their biggest drop since 1974 after the chipmaker reported a big miss on earnings in the June quarter and said it would lay off more than 15% of its employees. The stock is trading at its lowest since 2013.

    intel CEO at least is an up right person. He did his best to make a commitment to the shareholder. A good management team is likely to make profits for shareholders. A  smart, good team why can't make profits? Are Intel products no longer requested by the market?

    sometimes it's good to keep an eye on whether CEO is buying or selling as it may affect the stock.

    these big shots do not buy or sell for no reason...

    however, do not follow blindly, do keep track of news on the company as sometimes it may be a good thing to do the opposite. do trade cautiously though to test the water and see how the market flows and flows along with it...

      Based on the news articles I found, it seems that the actions of Intel's CEO, Patrick P. Gelsinger, have generated mixed reactions.

      In one article titled "Intel CEO bought stock after selloff. That's not the signal you may think it is," it is pointed out that Gelsinger purchased about $250,000 worth of Intel stock after a selloff. The author argues that this action may not necessarily be a bullish signal and advises caution when interpreting CEO buying activity.

      Another article mentions that Gelsinger acquired 12,500 shares of Intel stock at an average price of $20.16 per share. This indicates a total transaction value of $252,000.

      Overall, the sentiment regarding Gelsinger's continuous buying activity is neutral. It is important not to blindly follow CEO buying or selling actions but to consider other factors such as news and market conditions.

      Please note that the CEO's buying or selling activity should not be the sole basis for investment decisions. It is crucial to conduct thorough research and consider various factors before making any investment choices.

    I feel CEOs trading behaviour can affect investors' confidence. Because it gives us an insight of how these big bosses think of the stock prices of the companies they helm. Would you keep unloading if you think the future price of your company stock would go much higher than current? Given no need for money now, would selling now send a bad signal to shareholders that that's the max your stock price can go? $NVIDIA Corp(NVDA)$

    $Intel(INTC)$ share price is definitely in the pit and not seeing up in the near futu. Intel's CEO buying minimal shares while selling awards and giving himself a raise isn't a strong bullish signal. There is a need to do research and study the technical analysis of the stock price before each trade. Do invest with due diligence. Thanks @Tiger_comments

    然而，其他人認爲英特爾首席執行官的股票購買就像我們在商店裏買花生一樣。

    英特爾首席執行官購買最少的股票，同時出售獎勵並給自己加薪，這並不是一個強烈的看漲信號。

    它反映了CVNA的策略，高管們少量買入，同時從新冠牛市中大量獲利。

    基辛格在8月支付了252,000美元。5个12,500$英特尔(INTC)$股份，平均价格为20.16美元。你可能认为2.5万美元不是一大笔钱。

      Based on the available information, I couldn't find any specific target price forecasts for Intel (INTC). It's important to note that target prices are often provided by analysts and financial institutions, and they may vary depending on different factors and market conditions. If you need target price forecasts for Intel, I recommend consulting the latest reports and analysis from reputable financial institutions or conducting your own research.

      Regarding the CEO's buying activity, it is generally considered a positive signal when a CEO purchases shares of their own company. It suggests that they have confidence in the company's future prospects and believe the stock is undervalued. However, it's essential to view the CEO's buying activity in the broader context of the company's performance, industry trends, and overall market conditions.

      In the case of Intel, CEO Pat Gelsinger's consistent buying over the past four years could be seen as a positive indicator by some investors. It may suggest his confidence in the company's long-term potential and his belief that the stock is undervalued. Additionally, some investors view Intel's potential failure as a national security risk, further supporting the idea of a long-term buy.

      However, it's important to consider other factors as well. Some investors argue that Gelsinger's stock purchases are relatively small compared to other activities, such as selling awards or giving himself a raise. This perspective suggests that his buying activity may not carry as much weight as desired. It is also worth noting that the buying activity of CEOs should not be the sole basis for investment decisions. It's crucial to consider a comprehensive analysis of the company's financials, competitive landscape, and market conditions.

      In summary, CEO buying activity can be seen as a positive signal, indicating confidence in the company's future prospects. However, it should be evaluated alongside other fundamental and market factors. Investors are advised to conduct thorough research and analysis before making any investment decisions.

    The continuous buying of shares by a CEO, such as Intel's CEO, can be viewed as a bullish signal, but it's important to consider it in context. CEO purchases are often seen as a sign that the executive has confidence in the company's future prospects and believes the stock is undervalued. This can be interpreted positively by investors.

    However, while insider buying can be a good sign, it shouldn't be the sole factor in making investment decisions. It’s crucial to analyze other aspects such as the company's financial health, industry conditions, overall market trends, and the reasons behind the purchases. Similarly, insider selling might indicate personal financial needs or a strategic move rather than a sign of poor company performance.

    In summary, while CEO buying can be a positive indicator, it should be part of a broader analysis rather than the only factor in investment decisions. @TigerGPT @Tiger_comments @MillionaireTiger @CaptainTiger @TigerStars

CEO purchases are often seen as a positive indication that the executive believes in the company's future prospects and considers the stock to be undervalued. It can be interpreted as a show of confidence and aligns the CEO's interests with that of the shareholders.

Investors should also analyze other factors such as the company's financial health, industry conditions, and market trends. It is essential to conduct a thorough analysis before making any investment decisions.

      While CEO buying can be a positive signal, it's important to note that selling by CEOs may not always indicate a negative outlook for the company. CEO selling can occur for various reasons, including personal financial needs, portfolio diversification, or planned selling as part of a predetermined strategy. Therefore, it is crucial to consider the reasons behind the CEO's actions and evaluate the overall market conditions.

      In summary, CEO buying can be seen as a bullish signal, but it should be considered alongside other factors in the investment decision-making process. Investors should conduct their due diligence and consider a comprehensive analysis of the company before making any investment decisions.

    CEO’s buying is usually a sign of confidence in their company but selling doesn’t mean a lack of confidence. They usually see to take profit and to me, that is to be expected. I don’t usually pay much attention to CEO buying and selling. I look only at the company’s performance, future prospects, current stock price and macro conditions.
