Insiders Could Have Profited By Holding onto TPXimpact Holdings Shares Despite 12% Drop
TPXimpact Holdings plc's (LON:TPX) value has fallen 12% in the last week, but insiders who sold UK£504k worth of stock over the last year have had less success. Given that the average selling price of UK£0.42 is still lower than the current share price, insiders would probably have been better off keeping their shares.
Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.
TPXimpact Holdings Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
The Co-Founder & Non-Executive Director, Neal Gandhi, made the biggest insider sale in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for UK£504k worth of shares at a price of UK£0.42 each. We generally don't like to see insider selling, but the lower the sale price, the more it concerns us. The good news is that this large sale was at well above current price of UK£0.19. So it may not tell us anything about how insiders feel about the current share price. Neal Gandhi was the only individual insider to sell over the last year.
