Potential RVRC Holding AB (publ) (STO:RVRC) shareholders may wish to note that the Chief Executive Officer, Paul Fischbein, recently bought kr1.6m worth of stock, paying kr53.20 for each share. Although the purchase only increased their holding by 5.4%, it is still a solid purchase in our view.
Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider sale was by the Chief Financial Officer, Jesper Alm, for kr3.8m worth of shares, at about kr64.35 per share. We generally don't like to see insider selling, but the lower the sale price, the more it concerns us. The good news is that this large sale was at well above current price of kr54.20. So it may not tell us anything about how insiders feel about the current share price. Jesper Alm was the only individual insider to sell over the last year.
Happily, we note that in the last year insiders paid kr1.6m for 30.65k shares. On the other hand they divested 60.00k shares, for kr3.8m.

It is good to see the recent insider purchase. However, the longer term transactions are not so encouraging.
