Last week, Insig AI Plc (LON:INSG) insiders, who had purchased shares in the previous 12 months were rewarded handsomely. The shares increased by 61% last week, resulting in a UK£12m increase in the company's market worth. As a result, their original purchase of UK£289k worth of stock is now worth UK£313k.

While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.

Insig AI Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Interim Non-Executive Chairman Richard Bernstein bought UK£77k worth of shares at a price of UK£0.28 per share. Although we like to see insider buying, we note that this large purchase was at significantly below the recent price of UK£0.33. Because the shares were purchased at a lower price, this particular buy doesn't tell us much about how insiders feel about the current share price.

Does Insig AI Boast High Insider Ownership?

Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by insiders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. Insig AI insiders own 66% of the company, currently worth about UK£21m based on the recent share price. I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
