Analysis · NMFC · Unknown
Director John P. Malfettone sold his entire direct holding of 77,500 shares for over $611,000. This complete divestment by a director is a strong negative signal, particularly as it occurs near the company's 52-week low and follows recent reports of a significant Q1 net loss and a dividend cut.
