The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At DGR Global

Notably, that recent purchase by Nicholas Mather is the biggest insider purchase of DGR Global shares that we've seen in the last year. Even though the purchase was made at a significantly lower price than the recent price (AU$0.056), we still think insider buying is a positive. While it does suggest insiders consider the stock undervalued at lower prices, this transaction doesn't tell us much about what they think of current prices.

Insider Ownership of DGR Global

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 appears that DGR Global insiders own 16% of the company, worth about AU$6.9m. This level of insider ownership is good but just short of being particularly stand-out. It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment.

So What Do The DGR Global Insider Transactions Indicate?

It's certainly positive to see the recent insider purchases. We also take confidence from the longer term picture of insider transactions. But we don't feel the same about the fact the company is making losses. Given that insiders also own a fair bit of DGR Global we think they are probably pretty confident of a bright future. 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. At Simply Wall St, we've found that DGR Global has 5 warning signs (1 is significant!) that deserve your attention before going any further with your analysis.
