in the meantime Fox Factory Holding Corp. (NASDAQ:FOXF) stockholders had a strong week as the stock rose 3.1%. We should not let our guard down. Although the price was relatively low, insiders have opted to sell US$1.4 million worth of shares in the past 12 months. This could be a sign of impending weakness.

Our analysis FOXF can be overrated!
Fox Factory engaged in insider trading in the past year
The largest insider sale in the last 12 months came when Specialty Sports Group president Christopher Tutton sold $831,000 worth of stock at $104 a share. This meant that the insider was selling the stock at just below the current price ($109). If an insider sells below the current price, it suggests they thought the lower price was fair. This makes us wonder what they think of the recent (higher) valuation. However, while insider selling can be disappointing, it is only a weak signal. This one sale of his was his 100% stake in Christopher Tutton.
