Imdex Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Independent Non-Executive Chairman Anthony Wooles bought AU$2.0m worth of shares at a price of AU$3.92 per share. That means that even when the share price was higher than AU$3.24 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. Their view may have changed since then, but at least it shows they felt optimistic at the time. To us, it's very important to consider the price insiders pay for shares. As a general rule, we feel more positive about a stock if insiders have bought shares at above current prices, because that suggests they viewed the stock as good value, even at a higher price. We note that Anthony Wooles was both the biggest buyer and the biggest seller.

Over the last year, we can see that insiders have bought 968.82k shares worth AU$3.8m. But insiders sold 282.69k shares worth AU$970k. Overall, Imdex insiders were net buyers during the last year.
