What Happened?
Shares of private markets investment firm P10 (NYSE: PX) fell 3.6% in the morning session after multiple insiders reported significant stock sales, raising concerns for investors.
An SEC filing showed that on September 22, Edwin A. Poston sold 107,976 shares for a total value of approximately $1.3 million. This followed a separate transaction where Director David M. McCoy sold 44,000 shares on September 19 for over $531,000. While companies can have strong fundamentals, large sales by key insiders can sometimes be seen by the market as a lack of confidence in the company's near-term prospects. These sales took place after the company reported a 15% earnings beat for its second quarter, but the market appeared to focus more on the insider activity, leading to the stock's decline.
