The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Trajan Group Holdings
In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Independent Non-Executive Chair John Eales bought AU$89k worth of shares at a price of AU$1.89 per share. That means that even when the share price was higher than AU$1.12 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. It's very possible they regret the purchase, but it's more likely they are bullish about the company. We always take careful note of the price insiders pay when purchasing shares. As a general rule, we feel more positive about a stock when an insider has bought shares at above current prices, because that suggests they viewed the stock as good value, even at a higher price. John Eales was the only individual insider to buy during the last year.
