That means that an insider was selling shares at slightly below the current price (US$8.14). We generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they did so below the current price, because it implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. While insider selling is not a positive sign, we can't be sure if it does mean insiders think the shares are fully valued, so it's only a weak sign. We note that the biggest single sale was only 10% of Thomas Beaudoin's holding. Insiders in Cerence didn't buy any shares in the last year.
