The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Oneview Healthcare

In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when CFO & Executive Director Darragh Lyons bought AU$149k worth of shares at a price of AU$0.32 per share. That means that even when the share price was higher than AU$0.27 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. Their view may have changed since then, but at least it shows they felt optimistic at the time. 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.
