過去1年間で、インサイダーによる最大の購入は、CEO兼エグゼクティブディレクターのWai Pak Loが1株あたり約13.56香港ドルで67万8,000香港ドル相当の株式を購入したことであることがわかります。これは、ある内部関係者が現在の1株あたり13.66香港ドルという価格に魅力的だと感じたことを意味します。買収されてから彼らの見方は変わったかもしれませんが、これは少なくとも彼らが会社の将来に自信を持っていたことを示唆しています。私たちは常にインサイダー購入を見たいと思っていますが、それらの購入が今日の株価をはるかに下回る価格で行われたかどうかは注目に値します。価格の上昇に伴い、価値に対する割引が狭まった可能性があるためです。この場合、インサイダーが現在の価格に近い価格で株式を購入したことを報告できてうれしいです。昨年、個人でインサイダーを買ったのはワイ・パク・ローだけでした。
