A "sale post-exercise" transaction in the context of insider trading refers to the sale of shares that an insider (e.g., a company executive or director) sells after exercising stock options. Here's a breakdown of how this works:
-
Stock Option Exercise: Insiders often receive stock options as part of their compensation. Exercising these options means the insider buys shares at a predetermined exercise (or strike) price, which is typically lower than the current market price.
-
Sale of Shares: Once the insider exercises their options and receives the shares, they may choose to sell them immediately or at a later date. The transaction where these shares are sold is called a "sale post-exercise."
This type of transaction can be viewed as a way for insiders to liquidate some of their stock holdings for profit, particularly if the current market price is significantly higher than the exercise price. Monitoring these transactions can provide insights into insider sentiment about the company's prospects.
在内幕交易中，“出售期权行权后的交易”是指内幕人士（如公司高管或董事）在行使股票期权后出售股票的交易。具体解释如下：
-
股票期权行权：内幕人士通常会将股票期权作为薪酬的一部分。行使期权意味着内幕人士以预先确定的行权价（通常低于当前市场价）购买股票。
-
出售股票：在行权并获得股票后，内幕人士可以选择立即或在日后出售这些股票。这类出售被称为“行权后出售交易”。
这种交易常被视为内幕人士将其股票持有变现以获利的一种方式，特别是在当前市场价远高于行权价时。分析这些交易可以提供关于内幕人士对公司未来前景的看法的见解。
