Laboratory Insider Trading Activities

Some recent studies suggest that insider trading raises the cost of capital for securities issuers and decreases overall economic growth. Trading by specific Laboratory insiders, such as employees or executives, is commonly permitted as long as it does not rely on Laboratory's material information that is not in the public domain. Local jurisdictions usually require such trading to be reported in order to monitor insider transactions. In many U.S. states, trading conducted by corporate officers, key employees, directors, or significant shareholders must be reported to the regulator or publicly disclosed, usually within a few business days of the trade. In these cases Laboratory insiders are required to file a Form 4 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) when buying or selling shares of their own companies.

The market value of Laboratory is measured differently than its book value, which is the value of Laboratory that is recorded on the company's balance sheet. Investors also form their own opinion of Laboratory's value that differs from its market value or its book value, called intrinsic value, which is Laboratory's true underlying value. Investors use various methods to calculate intrinsic value and buy a stock when its market value falls below its intrinsic value. Because Laboratory's market value can be influenced by many factors that don't directly affect Laboratory's underlying business (such as a pandemic or basic market pessimism), market value can vary widely from intrinsic value.
Please note, there is a significant difference between Laboratory's value and its price as these two are different measures arrived at by different means. Investors typically determine if Laboratory is a good investment by looking at such factors as earnings, sales, fundamental and technical indicators, competition as well as analyst projections. However, Laboratory's price is the amount at which it trades on the open market and represents the number that a seller and buyer find agreeable to each party.
