Even if it's not a huge purchase, we think it was good to see that Qiang Wang, the Executive Director of Simble Solutions Limited (ASX:SIS) recently shelled out AU$100k to buy stock, at AU$0.0034 per share. Nevertheless, it only increased their shareholding by a minuscule percentage, and it wasn't a massive purchase by absolute value, either.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Simble Solutions
The insider Peter Rubinstein made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for AU$406k worth of shares at a price of AU$0.013 each. That means that even when the share price was higher than AU$0.003 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. 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. To us, it's very important to consider the price insiders pay for shares. Generally speaking, it catches our eye when insiders have purchased shares at above current prices, as it suggests they believed the shares were worth buying, even at a higher price.

Does Simble Solutions Boast High Insider Ownership?
Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by insiders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. It appears that Simble Solutions insiders own 38% of the company, worth about AU$839k. While this is a strong but not outstanding level of insider ownership, it's enough to indicate some alignment between management and smaller shareholders.
What Might The Insider Transactions At Simble Solutions Tell Us?
The recent insider purchase is heartening. And the longer term insider transactions also give us confidence. But on the other hand, the company made a loss during the last year, which makes us a little cautious. When combined with notable insider ownership, these factors suggest Simble Solutions insiders are well aligned, and that they may think the share price is too low. So these insider transactions can help us build a thesis about the stock, but it's also worthwhile knowing the risks facing this company. For example, Simble Solutions has 5 warning signs (and 3 which don't sit too well with us) we think you should know about.
