Olam Group Insider Ups Holding During Year

Simply Wall St

Insiders were net buyers of  Olam Group Limited' s  (SGX:VC2  ) stock during the past year. That is, insiders bought more stock than they sold.

While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.

Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider purchase was by Co-Founder Sunny George Verghese for S$496k worth of shares, at about S$0.99 per share. That means that even when the share price was higher than S$0.91 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. It' s very possible they regret the purchase, but it' s more likely they are bullish about the company. In our view, the price an insider pays for shares is very important. As a general rule, we feel more positive about a stock when an insider has bought shares at above current prices, because that suggests they viewed the stock as good value, even at a higher price. Sunny George Verghese was the only individual insider to buy shares in the last twelve months.
