Yahoo Finance Non-Executive Chairman of Fatfish Group Picks Up 4.3% More Stock
Even if it's not a huge purchase, we think it was good to see that Nyap Gan, the Non-Executive Chairman of Fatfish Group Limited (ASX:FFG) recently shelled out AU$100k to buy stock, at AU$0.015 per share. However, it only increased their shares held by 4.3%, and it wasn't a huge purchase by absolute value, either.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Fatfish Group
Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider purchase was by insider Yong Loong Tan for AU$1.8m worth of shares, at about AU$0.015 per share. Even though the purchase was made at a significantly lower price than the recent price (AU$0.021), 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
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. Fatfish Group insiders own about AU$13m worth of shares (which is 43% of the company). This kind of significant ownership by insiders does generally increase the chance that the company is run in the interest of all shareholders.
What Might The Insider Transactions At Fatfish Group Tell Us?
It is good to see the recent insider purchase. 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. Along with the high insider ownership, this analysis suggests that insiders are quite bullish about Fatfish Group. Looks promising! While we like knowing what's going on with the insider's ownership and transactions, we make sure to also consider what risks are facing a stock before making any investment decision.
