The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Stingray Group

Notably, that recent purchase by Independent Chairman Mark Pathy was not the only time they bought Stingray Group shares this year. They previously made an even bigger purchase of CA$1.3m worth of shares at a price of CA$6.25 per share. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at around the current price of CA$6.56. 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. If someone buys shares at well below current prices, it's a good sign on balance, but keep in mind they may no longer see value.
