In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Non-Executive Chairman Jack Cowin bought AU$9.5m worth of shares at a price of AU$31.67 per share. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at above the current price of AU$25.20. Their view may have changed since then, but at least it shows they felt optimistic at the time. In our view, the price an insider pays for shares is very important. It is generally more encouraging if they paid above the current price, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels.
