<h3>Why Pay Attention to Insider Transactions</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
Within the legal framework, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as per Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
The initiation of a new purchase by a company insider serves as a strong indication that they expect the stock to rise.
However, insider sells may not always signal a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.
<h3>A Deep Dive into Insider Transaction Codes</h3>
For <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a>, a primary focus lies on transactions occurring in the open market, as indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C signals the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

Sysco Director Sold $216K In Company Stock

Sysco's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SYY#NYSE">SYY</a>) short percent of float has fallen 15.52% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 13.89 million shares sold short, which is 2.83% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 4.6 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1730914223_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Sysco has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Sysco's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Sysco's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 4.32%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.

How Is The Market Feeling About Sysco?

<a href="https://teamster.org/2024/11/sysco-sygma-drivers-vote-overwhelmingly-to-join-teamsters/#:~:text=(KANSAS%20CITY%2C%20Mo.),goods%20to%20major%20chain%20restaurants.">https://teamster.org/2024/11/sysco-sygma-drivers-vote-overwhelmingly-to-join-teamsters/#:~:text=(KANSAS%20CITY%2C%20Mo.),goods%20to%20major%20chain%20restaurants.</a>
&nbsp;
Despite shameful union-busting tactics, more than 60 delivery drivers at Sysco/SYGMA have voted overwhelmingly to join Teamsters Local 955 in Kansas City. SYGMA is a subsidiary of Sysco that supplies food and other goods to major chain restaurants.
"We stood tall against management and their attempts to scheme, retaliate, and spread misleading information," said Jeremy Johnson, a driver at Sysco/SYGMA and a new member of Local 955. "They engaged in unfair labor practices, abandoned ethical standards, and relentlessly bombarded us with propaganda through text messages. They even resorted to sending intimidating fliers to our homes and hired union-busting professionals at $281 an hour to deceive and harass us daily. This was no minor challenge to overcome, yet we persevered."
Drivers at Sysco/SGYMA in Kansas City join warehouse workers from the same facility already represented by Local 955. Earlier this month, Sysco forced these <a href="https://teamster.org/2024/10/sysco-sygma-teamsters-in-kansas-city-forced-on-strike/">workers on strike</a> after failing to present an acceptable contract offer. The one-day strike resulted in a <a href="https://teamster.org/2024/10/sysco-sygma-teamsters-unanimously-ratify-new-contract/">unanimously ratified</a> contract.
"We look forward to helping our newest members negotiate the strongest possible contract, which they rightfully deserve," said Jerry D. Wood, President of Local 955. "The behavior Sysco displayed towards these workers was simply unacceptable. I commend our members for overcoming the company's shameful tactics and welcome them to Local 955."
Nationwide, the Teamsters represent more than 10,000 workers at Sysco and its subsidiaries. In recent years, corporate greed and a blatant disregard for workers' rights have led to multiple high-profile labor disputes with the company.
"Once again, Sysco management has skirted the law and shown outright contempt towards workers for exercising their legal right to join the Teamsters," said Tom Erickson, Director of the Teamsters Warehouse Division and Central Region International Vice President. "Sysco's dirty tricks and expensive consultants can't hide the fact that the only way to achieve true job security and better working conditions is by organizing with the Teamsters."
