MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

Notably, that recent sale by Geoffrey Ribar is the biggest insider sale of MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings shares that we've seen in the last year. So it's clear an insider wanted to take some cash off the table, even slightly below the current price of US$123. As a general rule we consider it to be discouraging when insiders are selling below the current price, because it suggests they were happy with a lower valuation. Please do note, however, that sellers may have a variety of reasons for selling, so we don't know for sure what they think of the stock price.
