The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Fluence Energy
The Independent Chair of the Board of Directors Herman Bulls made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$280k worth of shares at a price of US$28.00 each. That means that even when the share price was higher than US$16.40 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. It's very possible they regret the purchase, but it's more likely they are bullish about the company. We always take careful note of the price insiders pay when purchasing 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.
