The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Tai Cheung Holdings

Chairman Pun Chan previously made an even bigger purchase of HK$65k worth of shares at a price of HK$5.00 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, at around the current price, which is HK$5.04. 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. We do always like to see insider buying, but it is worth noting if those purchases were made at well below today's share price, as the discount to value may have narrowed with the rising price. In this case we're pleased to report that the insider bought shares at close to current prices. Pun Chan was the only individual insider to buy during the last year.
