The Chief Financial Officer Alan Fuhrman made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$152k worth of shares at a price of US$16.00 each. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, even at a higher price than the current share price (being US$14.65). It's very possible they regret the purchase, but it's more likely they are bullish about the company. To us, it's very important to consider the price insiders pay for 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. Alan Fuhrman was the only individual insider to buy shares in the last twelve months.

Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by insiders. Usually, the higher the insider ownership, the more likely it is that insiders will be incentivised to build the company for the long term.

While this is a strong but not outstanding level of insider ownership, it's enough to indicate some alignment between management and smaller shareholders.
