Iron Mountain shares are slipping as investors unwind recent gains after the stock hit a fresh 52-week high earlier this month. The drop is being driven by a valuation correction and profit-taking, with traders increasingly wary of the company’s elevated price-to-earnings ratio versus other specialized REITs.
Sentiment is further pressured by heavy insider selling, including multi-million dollar share sales by the CEO and other top executives. The stock has also broken below key technical support levels, triggering automated sell signals and adding momentum to the downside after a strong run earlier this year.
