Director William F. Griffin Jr. has filed a Form 144 indicating intent to sell an additional $15.3 million worth of common stock. This follows previous sales by the same director totaling $53.9 million in the past three months and aligns with a broader trend of significant insider selling at Argan, Inc., which has seen over $85 million in net insider sales recently. This continued selling, especially near 52-week highs and despite strong recent financial performance, could be interpreted as insiders taking profits and may create an overhang on the stock.
