Yahoo Finance Favourable Signals For Avi-Tech Holdings: Numerous Insiders Acquired 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 Avi-Tech Holdings Limited (SGX:1R6), it sends a favourable message to the company's shareholders.
While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether.
Check out our latest analysis for Avi-Tech Holdings
Avi-Tech Holdings Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Founder Eng Hong Lim bought S$89k worth of shares at a price of S$0.25 per share. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at around the current price of S$0.26. That means they have been optimistic about the company in the past, though they may have changed their mind. While we always like to see insider buying, it's less meaningful if the purchases were made at much lower prices, as the opportunity they saw may have passed. In this case we're pleased to report that the insider purchases were made at close to current prices.

I like to look at how many shares insiders own in a company, to help inform my view of how aligned they are with insiders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. Avi-Tech Holdings insiders own about S$21m worth of shares (which is 48% of the company).
