Insig AI Insider Buyers Net UK£282k Despite 14% Stock Decline

Insig AI Plc (LON:INSG) insiders who acquired shares over the previous 12 months, can probably afford to ignore the recent 14% decline in the stock price. After taking the recent loss into consideration, the UK£229.2k worth of stock they bought is now worth UK£511.5k, indicating that their investment yielded a positive return.

While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether.
