Whilst it may not be a huge deal, we thought it was good to see that the PWR Holdings Limited (ASX:PWH) Independent Non-Executive Director, Kristen Podagiel, recently bought AU$129k worth of stock, for AU$6.34 per share. Although the purchase is not a big one, by either a percentage standpoint or absolute value, it can be seen as a good sign.
The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At PWR Holdings
In fact, the recent purchase by Kristen Podagiel was the biggest purchase of PWR Holdings shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at around the current price of AU$6.76. That means they have been optimistic about the company in the past, though they may have changed their mind. If someone buys shares at well below current prices, it's a good sign on balance, but keep in mind they may no longer see value. The good news for PWR Holdings share holders is that insiders were buying at near the current price.
While PWR Holdings insiders bought shares during the last year, they didn't sell. The average buy price was around AU$7.29.

Insider Ownership
For a common shareholder, it is worth checking how many shares are held by company insiders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. Insiders own 13% of PWR Holdings shares, worth about AU$90m. This level of insider ownership is good but just short of being particularly stand-out. It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment.
