The shares increased by 9.3% last week, resulting in a US$211m increase in the company's market worth. As a result, their original purchase of US$149k worth of stock is now worth US$262k.
Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether.

The Independent Director Stephen Gillett made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$149k worth of shares at a price of US$26.58 each. We do like to see buying, but this purchase was made at well below the current price of US$46.29. Because it occurred at a lower valuation, it doesn't tell us much about whether insiders might find today's price attractive.
