On the day of the insider's recent sell, shares of Verint Systems Inc were trading for $24.94 apiece, giving the stock a market cap of $1.519 billion. Despite the insider's sell-off, the stock's price-to-GF-Value ratio of 0.54 suggests that it may be undervalued. This is further supported by the company's GuruFocus Value of $46.28, as shown in the following image:
The GF Value is an intrinsic value estimate developed by GuruFocus. It is calculated based on historical multiples (price-earnings ratio, price-sales ratio, price-book ratio, and price-to-free cash flow) that the stock has traded at, a GuruFocus adjustment factor based on the companys past returns and growth, and future estimates of business performance from Morningstar analysts.
While the insider's recent sell-off may raise some eyebrows, it's important to consider the broader context. The stock's low price-to-GF-Value ratio suggests that it may be undervalued, and the company's strong fundamentals could make it an attractive investment opportunity. However, potential investors should always conduct their own due diligence and consider the company's overall insider trading trends before making a decision.
