The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Repro India

Notably, that recent purchase by Rajeev Vohra is the biggest insider purchase of Repro India shares that we've seen in the last year. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, at around the current price, which is ₹362. 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. 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. The good news for Repro India share holders is that an insider was buying at near the current price. The only individual insider to buy over the last year was Rajeev Vohra.

Insider Ownership

Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by insiders. We usually like to see fairly high levels of insider ownership. Insiders own 19% of Repro India shares, worth about ₹846m. This level of insider ownership is good but just short of being particularly stand-out. It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment.

So What Do The Repro India Insider Transactions Indicate?

The recent insider purchase is heartening. We also take confidence from the longer term picture of insider transactions. But we don't feel the same about the fact the company is making losses. Once you factor in the high insider ownership, it certainly seems like insiders are positive about Repro India. Looks promising! While we like knowing 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.
