Mark Zuckerberg dumps $17 million of Meta shares
The surveillance of insider trading activity in major corporations is a major point for both analysts and investors, as it provides valuable insights into a company’s future prospects.
Such transactions often serve as significant indicators of executives’ confidence or apprehension, delivering essential signals to participants in the stock market.
Indeed, Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META) CEO Mark Zuckerberg sold more than $17 million worth of the company’s shares on November 2, according to Barchart data. The total number of shares sold in this transaction was 53,018.
The move came roughly a week after Meta reported its better-than-expected Q3 2023 financial results, which beat Wall Street’s expectations on top and bottom lines.
The stock initially fell to around $288 per share after the report, before rebounding to about $310 on November 2 – when Zuckerberg made the sale.
The last time the billionaire sold META’s shares was November 8, 2021.
