Whilst it may not be a huge deal, we thought it was good to see that the PWR Holdings Limited (ASX:PWH) Independent Non-Executive Director, Roland Dane, recently bought AU$100k worth of stock, for AU$9.98 per share. That purchase might not be huge but it did increase their holding by 16%.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At PWR Holdings

In fact, the recent purchase by Roland Dane was the biggest purchase of PWR Holdings shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, even at a higher price than the current share price (being AU$9.76). Their view may have changed since then, but at least it shows they felt optimistic at the time. 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 if insiders have bought shares at above current prices, because that suggests they viewed the stock as good value, even at a higher price.

Insider Ownership

For a common shareholder, it is worth checking how many shares are held by company insiders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. Insiders own 13% of PWR Holdings shares, worth about AU$132m. We've certainly seen higher levels of insider ownership elsewhere, but these holdings are enough to suggest alignment between insiders and the other shareholders.

So What Do The PWR Holdings Insider Transactions Indicate?

It's certainly positive to see the recent insider purchase. We also take confidence from the longer term picture of insider transactions. When combined with notable insider ownership, these factors suggest PWR Holdings insiders are well aligned, and quite possibly think the share price is too low. One for the watchlist, at least!
