Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Multiple insiders secured a larger position in Games Workshop Group PLC (LON:GAW) shares over the last 12 months. This is reassuring as this suggests that insiders have increased optimism about the company's prospects.

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.

Games Workshop Group Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider purchase was by CEO & Executive Director Kevin Rountree for UK£381k worth of shares, at about UK£163 per share. Even though the purchase was made at a significantly lower price than the recent price (UK£195), we still think insider buying is a positive. Because it occurred at a lower valuation, it doesn't tell us much about whether insiders might find today's price attractive.

In the last twelve months Games Workshop Group insiders were buying shares, but not selling. The chart below shows insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year. By clicking on the graph below, you can see the precise details of each insider transaction!

Overall, this level of ownership isn't that impressive, but it's certainly better than nothing!
