What this transaction means for investors
The Blackbaud executive conducted his recent sale under a 10b5-1 trading plan. That means these transactions, including the timing, were set under prearranged terms. Designed to prevent insiders from taking advantage of material information ahead of time, by definition, investors can’t glean information from this type of sale.
Turning to the stock’s performance, Blackbaud’s returns have been disappointing, to say the least. Looking at the last year, the shares have lost 55.6%. That’s badly trailed major equity indexes. During this period, the S&P 500 index returned 24.6%, and the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite had a 32.5% total return.
