Doxa Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

Notably, that recent purchase by Peter Strand is the biggest insider purchase of Doxa shares that we've seen in the last year. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at around the current price of kr5.24. That means they have been optimistic about the company in the past, though they may have changed their mind. 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. Happily, the Doxa insider decided to buy shares at close to current prices. Peter Strand was the only individual insider to buy shares in the last twelve months.
