    Have Insiders Sold Karat Packaging Shares Recently?

    Karat Packaging's Co-Founder, Marvin Cheng, recently sold US$213k worth of shares, though this represented only a 0.09% reduction in his total holding. While the sale might be seen as a slight negative, especially since it occurred below the current share price, insiders still own a significant 57% of the company, valued at US$550m, suggesting strong alignment with shareholder interests. The company is profitable and growing, but recent insider selling activities don't instill complete confidence despite the high insider ownership.
