The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Diadrom Holding

VP, Sales Manager & Head of Business Development Viktor Eliasson previously made an even bigger purchase of kr125k worth of shares at a price of kr12.84 per share. That means that even when the share price was higher than kr11.00 (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 is very important.

Insider Ownership

Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by insiders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. Diadrom Holding insiders own about kr20m worth of shares. That equates to 25% of the company. We've certainly seen higher levels of insider ownership elsewhere, but these holdings are enough to suggest alignment between insiders and the other shareholders.
