SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

In fact, the recent purchase by May Nilsen was the biggest purchase of SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. That implies that an insider found the current price of kr52.70 per share to be enticing. 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.

Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. Usually, the higher the insider ownership, the more likely it is that insiders will be incentivised to build the company for the long term.

We do note, however, it is possible insiders have an indirect interest through a private company or other corporate structure. I generally like to see higher levels of ownership.
