Zeta Global Holdings Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

The Co-Founder David Steinberg made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$1.0m worth of shares at a price of US$19.24 each. That means that even when the share price was higher than US$15.80 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. 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. In our view, the price an insider pays for shares is very important.
