Concejo Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
In fact, the recent purchase by Director Richard Bergengren was not their only acquisition of Concejo shares this year. They previously made an even bigger purchase of kr1.6m worth of shares at a price of kr39.67 per share. That implies that an insider found the current price of kr42.80 per share to be enticing. That means they have been optimistic about the company in the past, though they may have changed their mind. If someone buys shares at well below current prices, it’s a good sign on balance, but keep in mind they may no longer see value. In this case we’re pleased to report that the insider bought shares at close to current prices. Richard Bergengren was the only individual insider to buy during the last year.

Insider Ownership Of Concejo
Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. I reckon it’s a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. Concejo insiders own 61% of the company, currently worth about kr304m based on the recent share price. I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
