Trade Alert: The President Of VOXX International Corporation (NASDAQ:VOXX), Patrick Lavelle, Has Just Spent US$96k Buying 3.0% More Shares

Even if it's not a huge purchase, we think it was good to see that Patrick Lavelle, the President of VOXX International Corporation (NASDAQ:VOXX) recently shelled out US$96k to buy stock, at US$6.31 per share. However, it only increased their shares held by 3.0%, and it wasn't a huge purchase by absolute value, either.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At VOXX International

The Independent Director Beat Kahli made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$333k worth of shares at a price of US$10.37 each. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, even at a higher price than the current share price (being US$8.32). 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. In our view, the price an insider pays for shares is very important. It is generally more encouraging if they paid above the current price, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels.

Insider Ownership of VOXX International

Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. VOXX International insiders own about US$30m worth of shares. That equates to 15% of the company. We've certainly seen higher levels of insider ownership elsewhere, but these holdings are enough to suggest alignment between insiders and the other shareholders.

So What Does This Data Suggest About VOXX International Insiders?

It is good to see the recent insider purchase. And an analysis of the transactions over the last year also gives us confidence. But on the other hand, the company made a loss during the last year, which makes us a little cautious. When combined with notable insider ownership, these factors suggest VOXX International insiders are well aligned, and that they may think the share price is too low.
