The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At ZoomInfo Technologies
The Founder Henry Schuck made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$13m worth of shares at a price of US$8.49 each. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at around the current price of US$8.89. 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. Happily, the ZoomInfo Technologies insider decided to buy shares at close to current prices. Henry Schuck was the only individual insider to buy shares in the last twelve months.

I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
