What this transaction means for investors This transaction doesn't appear to be anything massive for investors to take note of, as its CEO appears to be making typical trades through his trust. While it is a sale out of his trust, it could be for something as simple as diversification -- and it doesn't appear to be an attempt to time the market by any means. Similarly, the sale was a mere 4% of his total indirect holdings, so it isn't a major decline. From a stock perspective, Crocs is a powerful force in its somewhat weird niche of the shoe industry . Over the last decade, Crocs has grown sales by 16% annually, and currently boasts a 17% free cash flow margin. The stock is a 15-bagger over that time, despite its hefty $2.5 billion acquisition of HeyDude, which is largely considered a dramatic overpayment. Growing sales by just 2% in its latest quarter, Crocs is trying to reignite its long-term growth story with new innovations, but the market has assigned a P/FCF ratio of 9.6 to the stock while it waits for a turnaround. Thanks to this low valuation, management has been buying back shares hand over fist, and the company has lowered its share count by 4% annually over the last ten years. If you're a fan of the Crocs brand, it may be a fun stock to hold at today's price, but I personally try to avoid fashion and footwear stocks -- though Crocs valuation is rather appealing.
