10 Stocks Insiders Are Selling In March

Page 1 of 9

In this article, we will take a detailed look at the top 10 stocks insiders are selling in March. We previously covered the top 10 stocks insiders are buying in March.

Wall Street experienced a challenging week, marked by turbulence as the broader market entered a correction, declining 10.1% from its record high in February. All three major indexes dropped between 2.3% and 3.1% over the week. However, Friday brought a little more optimism among investors as all three major indexes closed a bit higher. Blue-chip stocks closed 1.65% higher, the broader market index gained 2.13% and the NASDAQ Composite closed Friday session 2.61% higher.

This week continues to keep investors on their toes as the U.S. retail sales report, scheduled for release on Monday, will provide insights into consumer spending. According to Yahoo Finance, some experts believe investors will closely examine the report for signs of an economic slowdown. Experts polled by Dow Jones expect retail sales to have increased by 0.6% last month.

Investors are also closely watching for another significant update this week: the Federal Reserve’s decision on interest rates. Since September, the Fed has cut interest rates three times and still, the broader market entered a correction.

Examining recent insider trades can offer valuable insights, as executives often have a deeper understanding of their companies. For instance, when a CEO or CFO buys company stock, it may signal strong confidence in the business’s future.

However, insider selling doesn’t necessarily reflect a lack of confidence; it could be due to personal financial needs or a desire to diversify investments. These transactions are often executed through pre-arranged plans, like 10b5-1 plans, to avoid any appearance of improper timing. While insider activity can be informative, it’s important to consider it alongside the company’s financial health, market trends, and industry developments.

Our Methodology

To identify the 10 stocks insiders are selling in March we used Insider Monkey’s insider trading stock screener and looked for stocks where at least three insiders sold shares this month. With each stock, we note the number of insiders who recently sold shares and the company’s market capitalization.

Our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds, focusing on insider trading and stock picks from hedge fund investor newsletters and conferences. Our quarterly newsletter’s strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 373.4% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 218 percentage points (see more details here).

Let’s take a look at the 10 stocks insiders are selling in March.

10. Equinix, Inc. (NASDAQ:EQIX)

Number of Insiders Selling: 8

Market Capitalization: $81.53 billion

We start this list with one of the world’s largest third-party data center providers, Equinix. The Redwood City, California-based company focuses exclusively on data center operations, offering colocation, interconnection, and internet connectivity services through a neutral platform that enables seamless data exchange between networks. Equinix operates 268 data centers across 34 countries, spanning 33.7 million gross square feet on every major continent.

For the full year of 2024, the company reported revenues of $8.75 billion, up by 7% from the previous year. Net income attributable to common stockholders amounted to $815 million, down 16% year-over-year. Adjusted EBITDA was $4.1 billion, representing a 160 basis-point year-over-year improvement.

In March, eight insiders, including the company’s CEO, sold a total of $5.39 million worth of Equinix shares at an average price of $860.15 per share. Currently, the stock trades at $837.68 per share, having lost 11.16% year-to-date and 2.67% over the past 12 months.

Nineteen analysts have given an average “Buy” rating on Equinix stock with a price target of $971.56 per share, according to StockAnalysis.

Equinix is also among the 20 best data center stocks to buy according to billionaires.

9. Casella Waste Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CWST)

Number of Insiders Selling: 8

Market Capitalization: $6.81 billion

Next, among the stocks insiders are saying goodbye to in March, is a vertically integrated solid waste services company, Casella Waste Systems. The Rutland, Vermont-based company’s services include waste collection, recycling, disposal, and transfer operations, catering to various residential, commercial, and industrial customers. The company also markets recyclable materials such as cardboard, plastics, and metals.

Mad Money host Jim Cramer recently talked about the stock and said, “You know this one has been around forever and it just caught fire. I think it’s good but you know what? I am gonna go back to WM. I think WM is terrific and it just had a dip and it’s a little bit cheaper.”

In March, eight insiders, including the company’s CEO, sold a total of approximately $4.37 million worth of Casella shares at an average price of $107.60 per share. The stock rose 1.60% year-to-date, and is now trading at $107.50. Over the past 12 months, Casella returned 11.45% to its investors.

Based on five analysts’ estimates, Casella stock is a “Moderate Buy” with a price target of $117.75, according to MarketBeat.

We’re independently funding today’s broadcast to address something on the mind of every investor in America right now…

Should I put my money in Artificial Intelligence?

Here to answer that for us… and give away his No. 1 free AI recommendation… is 50-year Wall Street titan, Marc Chaikin.

Marc’s been a trader, stockbroker, and analyst. He was the head of the options department at a major brokerage firm and is a sought-after expert for CNBC, Fox Business, Barron’s, and Yahoo! Finance…

But what Marc’s most known for is his award-winning stock-rating system. Which determines whether a stock could shoot sky-high in the next three to six months… or come crashing down.

That’s why Marc’s work appears in every Bloomberg and Reuters terminal on the planet…

And is still used by hundreds of banks, hedge funds, and brokerages to track the billions of dollars flowing in and out of stocks each day.

He’s used this system to survive nine bear markets… create three new indices for the Nasdaq… and even predict the brutal bear market of 2022, 90 days in advance.
