Delfi Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Group CEO Tiong Choon Chuang bought S$983k worth of shares at a price of S$0.69 per share. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at around the current price of S$0.70. Of course they may have changed their mind. But this suggests they are optimistic. While we always like to see insider buying, it's less meaningful if the purchases were made at much lower prices, as the opportunity they saw may have passed. The good news for Delfi share holders is that an insider was buying at near the current price. The only individual insider to buy over the last year was Tiong Choon Chuang.
