Yahoo Finance Have Broo Limited (ASX:BEE) Insiders Been Selling Their Stock?
Anyone interested in Broo Limited (ASX:BEE) should probably be aware that the Executive Chairman, Kent Grogan, recently divested AU$160k worth of shares in the company, at an average price of AU$0.016 each. On the bright side, that sale was only 2.4% of their holding, so we doubt it's very meaningful, on its own.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Broo
In fact, the recent sale by Kent Grogan was the biggest sale of Broo shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. That means that an insider was selling shares at around the current price of AU$0.015. While we don't usually like to see insider selling, it's more concerning if the sales take place at a lower price. In this case, the big sale took place at around the current price, so it's not too bad (but it's still not a positive).

Insider Ownership
Looking at the total insider shareholdings in a company can help to inform your view of whether they are well aligned with common shareholders. Usually, the higher the insider ownership, the more likely it is that insiders will be incentivised to build the company for the long term. It's great to see that Broo insiders own 67% of the company, worth about AU$6.4m. I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
