Usually, when one insider buys stock, it might not be a monumental event. But when multiple insiders are buying like they did in the case of Core Energy Minerals Ltd (ASX:CR3), that sends out a positive message to the company’s shareholders.

Although we don’t think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.

Core Energy Minerals Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

The Non-Executive Chairman Christopher Gale made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for AU$150k worth of shares at a price of AU$0.019 each. That means that even when the share price was higher than AU$0.01 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. It’s very possible they regret the purchase, but it’s more likely they are bullish about the company. In our view, the price an insider pays for shares is very important. As a general rule, we feel more positive about a stock if insiders have bought shares at above current prices, because that suggests they viewed the stock as good value, even at a higher price.

While Core Energy Minerals insiders bought shares during the last year, they didn’t sell.

Core Energy Minerals insiders own about AU$1.4m worth of shares. That equates to 25% of the company. This level of insider ownership is good but just short of being particularly stand-out. It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment.
