Linamar Insider Ups Holding During Year
Looking at Linamar Corporation's (TSE:LNR ) insider transactions over the last year, we can see that insiders were net buyers. That is, there were more number of shares purchased by insiders than there were sold. While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares. We've found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free. The Executive Chairman of the Board Linda Hasenfratz made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for CA$3.0m worth of shares at a price of CA$60.01 each. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at around the current price of CA$62.74. Of course they may have changed their mind. But this suggests they are optimistic. We do always like to see insider buying, but it is worth noting if those purchases were made at well below today's share price, as the discount to value may have narrowed with the rising price. Happily, the Linamar insider decided to buy shares at close to current prices. Linda Hasenfratz was the only individual insider to buy shares in the last twelve months. You can see a visual depiction of insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last 12 months, below. If you click on the chart, you can see all the individual transactions, including the share price, individual, and the date! View our latest analysis for Linamar 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. The last three months saw significant insider selling at Linamar. In total, insider Csaba Havasi dumped CA$1.7m worth of shares in that time, and we didn't record any purchases whatsoever. This may suggest that some insiders think that the shares are not cheap. I like to look at how many shares insiders own in a company, to help inform my view of how aligned they are with insiders. Usually, the higher the insider ownership, the more likely it is that insiders will be incentivised to build the company for the long term. Linamar insiders own 36% of the company, currently worth about CA$1.3b 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. An insider hasn't bought Linamar stock in the last three months, but there was some selling. But we take heart from prior transactions. On top of that, insiders own a significant portion of the company. So the recent selling doesn't worry us. In addition to knowing about insider transactions going on, it's beneficial to identify the risks facing Linamar.
