Positive Signs As Multiple Insiders Buy Super League Enterprise Stock

Generally, when a single insider buys stock, it is usually not a big deal. However, when several insiders are buying, like in the case of Super League Enterprise, Inc. (NASDAQ:SLE), it sends a favourable message to the company's shareholders.

While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Super League Enterprise

Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider purchase was by Independent Director Jeffrey Gehl for US$91k worth of shares, at about US$1.82 per share. That means that even when the share price was higher than US$0.80 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. 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. To us, it's very important to consider the price insiders pay for shares. It is generally more encouraging if they paid above the current price, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels.

Insider Ownership

Looking at the total insider shareholdings in a company can help to inform your view of whether they are well aligned with common shareholders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. Insiders own 34% of Super League Enterprise shares, worth about US$1.9m. This level of insider ownership is good but just short of being particularly stand-out. It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment.

Insiders do have a stake in Super League Enterprise and their transactions don't cause us concern.
