True Partner Capital Holding Limited (HKG:8657) insiders who purchased shares in the last 12 months were richly rewarded last week. The stock climbed by 12% resulting in a HK$25m addition to the company’s market value. As a result, the stock they originally bought for HK$7.80m is now worth HK$10.9m.
Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether.
The Non-Executive Director Heng Fai Chan made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for HK$7.8m worth of shares at a price of HK$0.40 each. Even though the purchase was made at a significantly lower price than the recent price (HK$0.56), we still think insider buying is a positive. Because the shares were purchased at a lower price, this particular buy doesn't tell us much about how insiders feel about the current share price.
