Insider Selling Surges Across Major Firms, Raising Investor Concerns

Recent insider selling at multiple major companies has raised concerns among shareholders. At Tencent Holdings, significant sales included HK$13 million by Independent Non-Executive Director Ian Charles Stone, and no insiders purchased stocks over the past year. Similarly, Texas Instruments saw substantial insider sales, including US$1 million by Senior VP Mark Roberts, with no purchases reported. Citigroup insiders also sold a notable US$1.5 million worth of shares, and Qiagen experienced sales totaling US$4.6 million, both without any buying activity from insiders. Coupang's CFO sold US$4.6 million in shares, reflecting a trend where insiders appear to be liquidating rather than acquiring stock. These trends may suggest that insiders at these firms perceive the shares as overvalued, prompting increased scrutiny from investors.
