March 10 (Reuters) – U.S. corporate insiders sold far more shares in their companies than they bought in February, marking the largest gap since July 2024 and underscoring executives’ reluctance to purchase stock during a volatile month for markets.
The pessimism among U.S. executives, who have the clearest view of their own businesses, emerged during growing fears of AI disruption in February and does not yet reflect the added shock from the Iran war.
While insider transactions are often shaped by personal financial planning rather than a direct view on markets, analysts flagged that it might still serve as a sign of corporate caution.
