The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Sif Holding
In fact, the recent purchase by G. G. P. van Beers was the biggest purchase of Sif Holding shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, at around the current price, which is €8.96. 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. We do always like to see insider buying, but it is worth noting if those purchases were made at well below today's share price, as the discount to value may have narrowed with the rising price. In this case we're pleased to report that the insider bought shares at close to current prices. G. G. P. van Beers was the only individual insider to buy shares in the last twelve months.

What Might The Insider Transactions At Sif Holding Tell Us?
It is good to see the recent insider purchase. And an analysis of the transactions over the last year also gives us confidence. But on the other hand, the company made a loss during the last year, which makes us a little cautious. On this analysis the only slight negative we see is the fairly low (overall) insider ownership; their transactions suggest that they are quite positive on Sif Holding stock. While it's good to be aware of what's going on with the insider's ownership and transactions, we make sure to also consider what risks are facing a stock before making any investment decision. While conducting our analysis, we found that Sif Holding has 1 warning sign and it would be unwise to ignore this.
