Avante Logixx Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
In fact, the recent purchase by Craig Campbell was the biggest purchase of Avante Logixx shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at around the current price of CA$1.52. While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future. While we always like to see insider buying, it's less meaningful if the purchases were made at much lower prices, as the opportunity they saw may have passed. The good news for Avante Logixx share holders is that insiders were buying at near the current price.
In the last twelve months Avante Logixx insiders were buying shares, but not selling. The average buy price was around CA$1.12. To my mind it is good that insiders have invested their own money in the company. However, you should keep in mind that they bought when the share price was meaningfully below today's levels.
