Chinese Executives Sell at the Right Time, Avoiding Billions in Losses
Chinese corporate insiders have avoided billions of dollars in losses by making well-timed share sales over the past several years, according to an academic analysis of securities filings.
Insiders at companies based in China but listed on a U.S. exchange avoided at least $10 billion in losses on trades made between 2016 and mid-2021 by selling stock ahead of significant price declines, the researchers found. The Wall Street Journal reviewed the data and methodology in their paper.
