We've lost count of how many times insiders have accumulated shares in a company that goes on to improve markedly. On the other hand, we'd be remiss not to mention that insider sales have been known to precede tough periods for a business. So before you buy or sell InfoBeans Technologies Limited (NSE:INFOBEAN), you may well want to know whether insiders have been buying or selling.
What Is Insider Selling?
It's quite normal to see company insiders, such as board members, trading in company stock, from time to time. However, most countries require that the company discloses such transactions to the market.
We would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing. But logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares. For example, a Harvard University study found that 'insider purchases earn abnormal returns of more than 6% per year.'

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At InfoBeans Technologies
Chairman & MD Siddharth Sethi made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for ₹7.5m worth of shares at a price of ₹68.15 each. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at above the current price of ₹61.85. 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. In our view, the price an insider pays for shares is very important. 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.
In the last twelve months insiders paid ₹22m for 330k shares purchased. While InfoBeans Technologies insiders bought shares last year, they didn't sell.
