Insiders' US$6.79m Investments In Red Following Liberty Latin America's US$156m Dip In Market Value
Insiders who bought US$6.79m worth of Liberty Latin America Ltd.'s (NASDAQ:LILA) stock at an average buy price of US$8.49 over the last year may be disappointed by the recent 16% decrease in the stock. This is not good as insiders invest based on expectations that their money will appreciate over time. However, as a result of recent losses, their original investment is now worth only US$3.60m. Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing. This technology could replace computers: discover the 20 stocks are working to make quantum computing a reality. The Independent Director Brendan Paddick made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$3.6m worth of shares at a price of US$9.10 each. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at above the current price of US$4.50. It's very possible they regret the purchase, but it's more likely they are bullish about the company. In our view, the price an insider pays for shares is very important. As a general rule, we feel more positive about a stock when an insider has bought shares at above current prices, because that suggests they viewed the stock as good value, even at a higher price. The only individual insider to buy over the last year was Brendan Paddick. Brendan Paddick bought 799.55k shares over the last 12 months at an average price of US$8.49.

You probably do not want to miss this free list of undervalued small cap companies that insiders are buying. Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. Liberty Latin America insiders own 11% of the company, currently worth about US$104m based on the recent share price. Most shareholders would be happy to see this sort of insider ownership, since it suggests that management incentives are well aligned with other shareholders. It doesn't really mean much that no insider has traded Liberty Latin America shares in the last quarter. But insiders have shown more of an appetite for the stock, over the last year.

Doane Grant Thornton Foundation donates $1M to support A Dollar A Day Foundation
ST. JOHN'S, NL, May 8, 2025 /CNW/ - Doane Grant Thornton LLP's charitable foundation, Doane Grant Thornton Foundation, is pledging $1 million over two years to A Dollar A Day Foundation. A Dollar A Day Foundation supports frontline mental health and addictions services in every province and territory in Canada. The generous gift enables A Dollar A Day to fund additional organizations across Canada and comes at a time when the need for mental health and addictions services is critical. In Canada, 1 in 2 people will have - or have had - a mental illness by the time they reach the age of 40, and only 1 in 5 Canadian children who need mental health services are currently receiving them. In 2024, Doane Grant Thornton Foundation made a transformational $366,000 gift to A Dollar A Day, allowing the charity to expand operations. This support also allowed 100% of individual donations to go directly to the front lines and doubled the reach of its signature Change Maker Awards. Seeing the positive impact of their initial gift, the Foundation increased their support in the coming years to help ensure a lasting impact and enable more Canadians to access the care they need. "The care A Dollar A Day puts into their work is inspiring," says Dennis Leung, Chair of the Doane Grant Thornton Foundation's board. "They really get to know their grantees, understand their needs, and ultimately direct funding to where it's most needed. Our gift reflects the Foundation's commitment to creating meaningful impact in the communities where we live and work. A Dollar A Day amplified our collective impact, reaching every corner of the country, helping to ensure no one in need is left behind." "Doane Grant Thornton Foundation's support is about more than just dollars," says Brendan Paddick, co-founder and chair of A Dollar A Day. "Their long-term commitment gives us the stability to plan, grow, and deliver real impact. Thanks to their backing, we doubled the organizations we supported in 2024 and strengthened our operations, all while keeping our promise that every dollar from individual donors goes directly to frontline programs." A Dollar A Day Foundation is a national charity based in Newfoundland and Labrador. Founded in 2016, it has supported over 130 organizations across the country to date. Visit to learn more.
