Doug Black is the CEO of SiteOne Landscape Supply Inc, a company that distributes landscape supplies primarily to landscape service professionals in the United States and Canada. The company provides a diverse range of products including irrigation supplies, fertilizer and control products, landscape accessories, nursery goods, and more. Under Black's leadership, the company has grown to a market cap of $6.995 billion.
The insider transaction history for SiteOne Landscape Supply Inc shows a trend of selling rather than buying. Over the past year, there have been 10 insider sells and no insider buys. This could be a signal to investors about the insider's confidence in the company's future performance.
On the day of the insider's recent sell, shares of SiteOne Landscape Supply Inc were trading for $159.16 apiece. This gives the stock a price-earnings ratio of 37.05, which is higher than the industry median of 12.91 but lower than the companys historical median price-earnings ratio.
Despite the insider's sell, the stock appears to be modestly undervalued based on its GF Value. With a price of $159.16 and a GuruFocus Value of $198.64, SiteOne Landscape Supply Inc has a price-to-GF-Value ratio of 0.8.

In conclusion, the insider's recent sell of SiteOne Landscape Supply Inc shares, along with the trend of insider sells over the past year, could be a signal to investors. However, the stock's current valuation suggests it may still be a good buy. As always, investors should conduct their own research and consider their investment goals before making a decision.
