The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At DomaCom
The Independent Non-Executive Director George Paxton made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for AU$200k worth of shares at a price of AU$0.066 each. That means that even when the share price was higher than AU$0.026 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. It's very possible they regret the purchase, but it's more likely they are bullish about the company. We always take careful note of the price insiders pay when purchasing shares. As a general rule, we feel more positive about a stock when an insider has bought shares at above current prices, because that suggests they viewed the stock as good value, even at a higher price. George Paxton was the only individual insider to buy during the last year.

Insider Ownership Of DomaCom
Looking at the total insider shareholdings in a company can help to inform your view of whether they are well aligned with common shareholders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. Insiders own 18% of DomaCom shares, worth about AU$2.1m. While this is a strong but not outstanding level of insider ownership, it's enough to indicate some alignment between management and smaller shareholders.
So What Do The DomaCom Insider Transactions Indicate?
There haven't been any insider transactions in the last three months -- that doesn't mean much. But insiders have shown more of an appetite for the stock, over the last year. Overall we don't see anything to make us think DomaCom insiders are doubting the company, and they do own shares. So these insider transactions can help us build a thesis about the stock, but it's also worthwhile knowing the risks facing this company.
