The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Conduit Holdings

Notably, that recent purchase by Elaine Whelan is the biggest insider purchase of Conduit Holdings 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 UK£4.77. That means they have been optimistic about the company in the past, though they may have changed their mind. If someone buys shares at well below current prices, it's a good sign on balance, but keep in mind they may no longer see value. Happily, the Conduit Holdings insiders decided to buy shares at close to current prices.

Happily, we note that in the last year insiders paid UK£830k for 165.93k shares. But they sold 15.60k shares for UK£80k.
