When a single insider purchases stock, it is typically not a major deal. However, when multiple insiders purchase stock, like in Beacon Lighting Group Limited's (ASX:BLX) 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.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Beacon Lighting Group

Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider purchase was by CEO & Director Glen Robinson for AU$101k worth of shares, at about AU$2.52 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, even at a higher price than the current share price (being AU$1.50). While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future. 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.

While Beacon Lighting Group insiders bought shares during the last year, they didn't sell. Their average price was about AU$2.03.

Insider Ownership

For a common shareholder, it is worth checking how many shares are held by company 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. Beacon Lighting Group insiders own about AU$195m worth of shares (which is 57% of the company). I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
