Whilst it may not be a huge deal, we thought it was good to see that the Infini Resources Limited (ASX:I88) Executive Director, David Pevcic, recently bought AU$150k worth of stock, for AU$0.13 per share. That purchase might not be huge but it did increase their holding by 19%.
Infini Resources Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
Notably, that recent purchase by Executive Director David Pevcic was not the only time they bought Infini Resources shares this year. They previously made an even bigger purchase of AU$800k worth of shares at a price of AU$0.60 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, even at a higher price than the current share price (being AU$0.22). It's very possible they regret the purchase, but it's more likely they are bullish about the company. We always take careful note of the price insiders pay when purchasing shares. It is generally more encouraging if they paid above the current price, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels.
While Infini Resources insiders bought shares during the last year, they didn't sell. The average buy price was around AU$0.38.
