Jinxin Fertility Group Insiders Placed Bullish Bets Worth CN¥5.59m

Generally, when a single insider buys stock, it is usually not a big deal. However, when several insiders are buying, like in the case of Jinxin Fertility Group Limited (HKG:1951), it sends a favourable message to the company's shareholders.

While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Jinxin Fertility Group

The CEO & Executive Director Yang Dong made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for HK$3.6m worth of shares at a price of HK$2.99 each. That implies that an insider found the current price of HK$3.02 per share to be enticing. While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future. While we always like to see insider buying, it's less meaningful if the purchases were made at much lower prices, as the opportunity they saw may have passed. Happily, the Jinxin Fertility Group insiders decided to buy shares at close to current prices.
