The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Everest Industries

In fact, the recent purchase by Manju Taparia was the biggest purchase of Everest Industries shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, at around the current price, which is ₹294. That means they have been optimistic about the company in the past, though they may have changed their mind. 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. The good news for Everest Industries share holders is that insiders were buying at near the current price.

Everest Industries insiders may have bought shares in the last year, but they didn't sell any. The average buy price was around ₹210.

Insider Ownership

Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by insiders. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests.

Overall, this level of ownership isn't that impressive, but it's certainly better than nothing!
