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.

It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment.

So What Do The Sivers Semiconductors Insider Transactions Indicate?

The recent insider purchase is heartening. We also take confidence from the longer term picture of insider transactions. However, we note that the company didn't make a profit over the last twelve months, which makes us cautious. Along with the high insider ownership, this analysis suggests that insiders are quite bullish about Sivers Semiconductors. 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.
