So the CEO of Dime Community Bancshares just dumped 25k shares back in February for around 878k. Interesting timing since the company just announced they're reauthorizing a buyback program for 1.5 million shares. On one hand, you've got strong Q4 earnings and the stock is up like 14% so far this year. On the other hand, why is the CEO selling? His direct holdings dropped almost 10% from this transaction, though he still holds a decent amount through his 401k and spouse. The bank's doing solid fundamentals-wise with that revenue bump and dividend yield sitting at 2.92%. But insider sales always make you wonder if management sees headwinds coming. Could just be portfolio rebalancing or tax planning, but worth keeping an eye on if you're watching Dime. What's your take - insider selling a red flag or just noise?
