Have Insiders Been Buying Resideo Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:REZI) Shares This Year?
It is not uncommon to see companies perform well in the years after insiders buy shares. Unfortunately, there are also plenty of examples of share prices declining precipitously after insiders have sold shares. So we'll take a look at whether insiders have been buying or selling shares in Resideo Technologies, Inc. (NYSE:REZI).
Do Insider Transactions Matter?
It's quite normal to see company insiders, such as board members, trading in company stock, from time to time. However, most countries require that the company discloses such transactions to the market.
We don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions. But logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares. For example, a Harvard University study found that 'insider purchases earn abnormal returns of more than 6% per year'.

Resideo Technologies Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Chairman Roger Fradin bought US$998k worth of shares at a price of US$9.38 per share. Although we like to see insider buying, we note that this large purchase was at significantly below the recent price of US$23.60. Because it occurred at a lower valuation, it doesn't tell us much about whether insiders might find today's price attractive.
Resideo Technologies insiders may have bought shares in the last year, but they didn't sell any.

Insiders at Resideo Technologies Have Bought Stock Recently
Over the last three months, we've seen significant insider buying at Resideo Technologies. Overall, three insiders shelled out US$250k for shares in the company -- and none sold. This is a positive in our book as it implies some confidence.
Insider Ownership
Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. We usually like to see fairly high levels of insider ownership. It appears that Resideo Technologies insiders own 0.5% of the company, worth about US$16m. 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 Does This Data Suggest About Resideo Technologies Insiders?
The recent insider purchases are 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. Insiders likely see value in Resideo Technologies shares, given these transactions (along with notable insider ownership of the company). So while it's helpful to know what insiders are doing in terms of buying or selling, it's also helpful to know the risks that a particular company is facing.
