One Green Dot Insider Raised Stake By 48% In Previous Year
Viewing insider transactions for Green Dot Corporation's (NYSE:GDOT ) over the last year, we see that insiders were net buyers. This means that a larger number of shares were purchased by insiders in relation to shares sold. While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether. View our latest analysis for Green Dot In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Chief Revenue Officer Chris Ruppel bought US$299k worth of shares at a price of US$9.16 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, even at a higher price than the current share price (being US$8.48). While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future. To us, it's very important to consider the price insiders pay for shares. 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. Chris Ruppel was the only individual insider to buy during the last year. The chart below shows insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year. If you click on the chart, you can see all the individual transactions, including the share price, individual, and the date! There are plenty of other companies that have insiders buying up shares. You probably do not want to miss this free list of undervalued small cap companies that insiders are buying. 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. Insiders own 1.4% of Green Dot shares, worth about US$6.6m, according to our data. Overall, this level of ownership isn't that impressive, but it's certainly better than nothing! There haven't been any insider transactions in the last three months -- that doesn't mean much. On a brighter note, the transactions over the last year are encouraging. While we have no worries about the insider transactions, we'd be more comfortable if they owned more Green Dot stock. Therefore, you should definitely take a look at this FREE report showing analyst forecasts for Green Dot. Of course, you might find a fantastic investment by looking elsewhere. So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies. For the purposes of this article, insiders are those individuals who report their transactions to the relevant regulatory body.
