Great news for The Food Revolution Group Limited (ASX:FOD): Insiders acquired stock in large numbers last year

When a single insider purchases stock, it is typically not a major deal. However, when multiple insiders purchase stock, like in The Food Revolution Group Limited's (ASX:FOD) instance, it's good news for shareholders.

While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.

Food Revolution Group Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider purchase was by insider Matthew Bailey for AU$100k worth of shares, at about AU$0.035 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, even at a higher price than the current share price (being AU$0.025). Their view may have changed since then, but at least it shows they felt optimistic at the time. To us, it's very important to consider the price insiders pay for shares. Generally speaking, it catches our eye when insiders have purchased shares at above current prices, as it suggests they believed the shares were worth buying, even at a higher price.

Does Food Revolution Group Boast High Insider Ownership?

While this is a strong but not outstanding level of insider ownership, it's enough to indicate some alignment between management and smaller shareholders.
