Arlandastad Group Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Director Per Taube bought kr4.1m worth of shares at a price of kr29.76 per share. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at around the current price of kr31.20. While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future. 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. In this case we're pleased to report that the insider bought shares at close to current prices. Per Taube was the only individual insider to buy shares in the last twelve months.
