Insider Ownership Of Enterprise Group
The definition of company insiders can be subjective, and does vary between jurisdictions. Our data reflects individual insiders, capturing board members at the very least. The company management answer to the board; and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board, themselves.
Most consider insider ownership a positive because it can indicate the board is well aligned with other shareholders. However, on some occasions too much power is concentrated within this group.
Our most recent data indicates that insiders own a reasonable proportion of Enterprise Group, Inc.. Insiders own CA$4.0m worth of shares in the CA$15m company. It is great to see insiders so invested in the business. It might be worth checking if those insiders have been buying recently.
