Simply Wall St · 6d ago

Insiders who bought AU$7.00m worth of Flynn Gold Limited (ASX:FG1) stock in the last year have seen some of their losses recouped as the stock gained 16% last week. However, total losses seen by insiders are still AU$4.8m since the time of purchase.

While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Flynn Gold

The insider Colin Bourke made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for AU$5.8m worth of shares at a price of AU$0.20 each. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at above the current price of AU$0.025. While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future. We always take careful note of the price insiders pay when purchasing shares. It is generally more encouraging if they paid above the current price, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels.

In the last twelve months Flynn Gold insiders were buying shares, but not selling. The average buy price was around AU$0.079. I'd consider this a positive as it suggests insiders see value at around the current price.
