Insider Ownership Of Coor Service Management Holding

The definition of an insider can differ slightly between different countries, but members of the board of directors always count. Company management run the business, but the CEO will answer to the board, even if he or she is a member of it.

Most consider insider ownership a positive because it can indicate the board is well aligned with other shareholders. However, on some occasions too much power is concentrated within this group.

Our most recent data indicates that insiders own less than 1% of Coor Service Management Holding AB. It seems the board members have no more than kr63m worth of shares in the kr7.8b company. I generally like to see a board more invested. However it might be worth checking if those insiders have been buying.
