Insiders' US$14.6m Investments In Red Following Pluri's US$2.2m Dip In Market Value

Simply Wall St · 2d ago

Insiders who bought US$14.6m worth of Pluri Inc.'s (NASDAQ:PLUR) stock at an average buy price of US$3.17 over the last year may be disappointed by the recent 12% decrease in the stock. Insiders purchase with the hope of seeing their investments increase in value over time. However, due to recent losses, their initial investment is now only worth US$6.73m, which is not great.

Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether.

Pluri Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider purchase was by Independent Chairman Alejandro Weinstein Manieu for US$13m worth of shares, at about US$4.61 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, even at a higher price than the current share price (being US$1.46). 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. To us, it's very important to consider the price insiders pay for shares. It is encouraging to see an insider paid above the current price for shares, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels. The only individual insider to buy over the last year was Alejandro Weinstein Manieu.
