The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At AnalytixInsight

Notably, that recent purchase by Prakash Hariharan is the biggest insider purchase of AnalytixInsight shares that we've seen in the last year. Even though the purchase was made at a significantly lower price than the recent price (CA$0.47), we still think insider buying is a positive. While it does suggest insiders consider the stock undervalued at lower prices, this transaction doesn't tell us much about what they think of current prices.

Insider Ownership

Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. Our data indicates that AnalytixInsight insiders own about CA$2.5m worth of shares (which is 6.8% of the company). Overall, this level of ownership isn't that impressive, but it's certainly better than nothing!

So What Does This Data Suggest About AnalytixInsight Insiders?

The recent insider purchase is heartening. We also take confidence from the longer term picture of insider transactions. However, we note that the company didn't make a profit over the last twelve months, which makes us cautious. We would certainly prefer see higher levels of insider ownership but analysis of the insider transactions suggests that AnalytixInsight insiders are expecting a bright future. I like to dive deeper into how a company has performed in the past. You can find historic revenue and earnings in this detailed graph.
