Euroz Hartleys Group Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider purchase was by Executive Chairman Andrew McKenzie for AU$315k worth of shares, at about AU$0.78 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, at around the current price, which is AU$0.85. That means they have been optimistic about the company in the past, though they may have changed their mind. We do always like to see insider buying, but it is worth noting if those purchases were made at well below today's share price, as the discount to value may have narrowed with the rising price. The good news for Euroz Hartleys Group share holders is that an insider was buying at near the current price. The only individual insider to buy over the last year was Andrew McKenzie.

Insider Ownership Of Euroz Hartleys Group

Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. Euroz Hartleys Group insiders own about AU$60m worth of shares (which is 45% of the company). I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
