Have SuperRobotics Holdings Insiders Been Selling Stock?
We wouldn't blame SuperRobotics Holdings Limited (HKG:8176) shareholders if they were a little worried about the fact that Zhituan Su, a company insider, recently netted about HK$5.3m selling shares at an average price of HK$0.025. That diminished their holding by a very significant 100%, which arguably implies a strong desire to reallocate capital.
SuperRobotics Holdings Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
Notably, that recent sale by insider Zhituan Su was not the only time they traded SuperRobotics Holdings shares this year. They previously purchased HK$7.5m worth of shares at a price of HK$0.12 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, even at a higher price than the current share price (being HK$0.023). 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. In our view, the price an insider pays for shares is very important. It is encouraging to see an insider paid above the current price for shares, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels. Zhituan Su was the only individual insider to buy during the last year. Notably Zhituan Su was also the biggest seller.
