The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Senzime

In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Chairman of the Board Per Wold-Olsen bought kr1.2m worth of shares at a price of kr6.18 per share. That implies that an insider found the current price of kr6.40 per share to be enticing. Of course they may have changed their mind. But this suggests they are optimistic. If someone buys shares at well below current prices, it's a good sign on balance, but keep in mind they may no longer see value. In this case we're pleased to report that the insider bought shares at close to current prices. Per Wold-Olsen was the only individual insider to buy during the last year.

Per Wold-Olsen bought a total of 316.34k shares over the year at an average price of kr6.02. The chart below shows insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year. If you want to know exactly who sold, for how much, and when, simply click on the graph below!

Insider Ownership Of Senzime

Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by insiders. We usually like to see fairly high levels of insider ownership. It appears that Senzime insiders own 20% of the company, worth about kr166m. We've certainly seen higher levels of insider ownership elsewhere, but these holdings are enough to suggest alignment between insiders and the other shareholders.

So What Do The Senzime Insider Transactions Indicate?

It is good to see the recent insider purchase. We also take confidence from the longer term picture of insider transactions. But on the other hand, the company made a loss during the last year, which makes us a little cautious. When combined with notable insider ownership, these factors suggest Senzime insiders are well aligned, and quite possibly think the share price is too low. That's what I like to see! 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. Case in point: We've spotted 5 warning signs for Senzime you should be aware of, and 1 of these is a bit unpleasant.
