Positive Signs As Multiple Insiders Buy Giftify Stock

When a single insider purchases stock, it is typically not a major deal. However, when multiple insiders purchase stock, like in Giftify, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:GIFT) instance, it's good news for shareholders. 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. Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider purchase was by Chief Operating Officer of Balazs Wellisch for US$54k worth of shares, at about US$2.95 per share. That means that even when the share price was higher than US$2.00 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. Their view may have changed since then, but at least it shows they felt optimistic at the time. To us, it's very important to consider the price insiders pay for shares. It is generally more encouraging if they paid above the current price, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels. Giftify insiders may have bought shares in the last year, but they didn't sell any. They paid about US$1.64 on average. We don't deny that it is nice to see insiders buying stock in the company. However, you should keep in mind that they bought when the share price was meaningfully below today's levels. You can see the insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year depicted in the chart below. If you want to know exactly who sold, for how much, and when, simply click on the graph below! View our latest analysis for Giftify 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. Chairman Ketan Thakker bought just US$2.2k worth of shares in that time. That's not much at all. Overall, we don't think these recent trades are particularly informative, one way or the other. Looking at the total insider shareholdings in a company can help to inform your view of whether they are well aligned with common shareholders. We usually like to see fairly high levels of insider ownership. Giftify insiders own about US$13m worth of shares. That equates to 25% of the company. This level of insider ownership is good but just short of being particularly stand-out. It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment. Our data shows a little insider buying, but no selling, in the last three months. Overall the buying isn't worth writing home about. However, our analysis of transactions over the last year is heartening. Insiders do have a stake in Giftify and their transactions don't cause us concern. In addition to knowing about insider transactions going on, it's beneficial to identify the risks facing Giftify. You'd be interested to know, that we found 3 warning signs for Giftify and we suggest you have a look. 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. We currently account for open market transactions and private dispositions of direct interests only, but not derivative transactions or indirect interests. Have feedback on this article?
