Insiders who bought Prelude Therapeutics Incorporated (NASDAQ:PRLD) stock in the last 12 months were richly rewarded last week. The company's market value increased by US$62m as a result of the stock's 34% gain over the same period. Put another way, the original US$656.7k acquisition is now worth US$2.75m.

While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Prelude Therapeutics

In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Founder Krishna Vaddi bought US$467k worth of shares at a price of US$0.69 per share. Even though the purchase was made at a significantly lower price than the recent price (US$2.94), 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.
