Selwyn A. Duijvestijn Spends €67k On DGB Group Stock

Whilst it may not be a huge deal, we thought it was good to see that the DGB Group N.V. (AMS:DGB) CEO & Executive Director, Selwyn A. Duijvestijn, recently bought €67k worth of stock, for €0.02 per share. Nevertheless, it only increased their shareholding by a minuscule percentage, and it wasn't a massive purchase by absolute value, either.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At DGB Group

Notably, that recent purchase by Selwyn A. Duijvestijn is the biggest insider purchase of DGB Group shares that we've seen in the last year. Even though the purchase was made at a significantly lower price than the recent price (€0.41), we still think insider buying is a positive. Because it occurred at a lower valuation, it doesn't tell us much about whether insiders might find today's price attractive.

Insider Ownership Of DGB Group

I like to look at how many shares insiders own in a company, to help inform my view of how aligned they are with insiders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. It appears that DGB Group insiders own 40% of the company, worth about €1.8m. While this is a strong but not outstanding level of insider ownership, it's enough to indicate some alignment between management and smaller shareholders.

So What Do The DGB Group Insider Transactions Indicate?

The recent insider purchase is heartening. And the longer term insider transactions also give us confidence. But on the other hand, the company made a loss during the last year, which makes us a little cautious. Given that insiders also own a fair bit of DGB Group we think they are probably pretty confident of a bright future. While it's good to be aware of what's going on with the insider's ownership and transactions, we make sure to also consider what risks are facing a stock before making any investment decision.
