IMP Powers Limited (NSE:INDLMETER) insiders got a good deal: Sold stock currently worth ₹13.60 at ₹15.70 over the past year

Despite the fact that IMP Powers Limited (NSE:INDLMETER) stock rose 14% last week, insiders who sold ₹3.1m worth of stock in the previous 12 months are likely to be better off. Selling at an average price of ₹15.70, which is higher than the current price might have been the right call as holding on to stock would have meant their investment would be worth less now than it was at the time of sale.

While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.
