The recent 12% drop in Nyrada Inc.'s (ASX:NYR) stock could come as a blow to insiders who purchased AU$168k worth of stock at an average buy price of AU$0.26 over the past 12 months. Insiders purchase with the hope of seeing their investments increase in value over time. However, due to recent losses, their initial investment is now only worth AU$119k, which is not great.
