The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Hang Chi Holdings

The insider Ko Yeung Lok made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for HK$21m worth of shares at a price of HK$0.65 each. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at around the current price of HK$0.65. 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 Hang Chi Holdings insider decided to buy shares at close to current prices. Ko Yeung Lok was the only individual insider to buy during the last year.
