A AU$2.4b Market Cap Boost Pleasing ToPilbara Minerals Insiders
Pilbara Minerals Limited (ASX:PLS) insiders who bought shares over the past year were rewarded handsomely last week. The stock rose 24%, resulting in a AU$2.4b rise in the company’s market capitalisation, translating to a gain of 127% on their initial investment. As a result, their original purchase of AU$2.40m worth of stock is now worth AU$5.45m.
While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.
Pilbara Minerals Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when MD, CEO & Executive Director Dale Henderson bought AU$1.1m worth of shares at a price of AU$2.23 per share. Although we like to see insider buying, we note that this large purchase was at significantly below the recent price of AU$3.96. Because it occurred at a lower valuation, it doesn’t tell us much about whether insiders might find today’s price attractive.
Pilbara Minerals insiders may have bought shares in the last year, but they didn’t sell any. They paid about AU$1.74 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.
