Redcare Pharmacy Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

Notably, that recent purchase by Frank Kohler is the biggest insider purchase of Redcare Pharmacy shares that we've seen in the last year. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, at around the current price, which is €126. 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. 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. The good news for Redcare Pharmacy share holders is that an insider was buying at near the current price. Frank Kohler was the only individual insider to buy shares in the last twelve months.

Does Redcare Pharmacy Boast High Insider Ownership?

Looking at the total insider shareholdings in a company can help to inform your view of whether they are well aligned with common shareholders.

I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
