Insiders' US$529.1k Investments In Red Following Methode Electronics' US$59m Dip In Market Value
The recent 14% drop in Methode Electronics, Inc.'s (NYSE:MEI) stock could come as a blow to insiders who purchased US$529.1k worth of stock at an average buy price of US$21.82 over the past 12 months. Insiders invest with the hopes of seeing their money grow in value over time. However, as a result of recent losses, their initial investment is now only worth US$258.5k, which is not what they expected.
Methode Electronics, Inc. （纽交所：MEI）股价最近下跌14％，这可能会给内部买家造成打击，因为他们在过去的12个月中以平均买入价21.82美元购买了总价529,100美元的股票。内部买家进行投资，希望看到自己的钱随着时间增值，但是由于最近的损失，他们最初的投资现在只有258,500美元，这并不是他们预期的结果。
While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.
虽然我们绝不建议投资者仅基于公司董事所做的事情来作出决策，但我们认为密切关注内部人士所做的事情是完全合理的。
The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Methode Electronics
Methode Electronics 内部交易最近12个月情况
The Consultant Donald Duda made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$507k worth of shares at a price of US$21.80 each. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, even at a higher price than the current share price (being US$10.66). 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. It is generally more encouraging if they paid above the current price, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels.
顾问 Donald Duda 在过去的12个月中进行了最大的内部交易，单次交易金额为50.7万美元，单价为21.8美元。因此，内部人士想买，即使价格比当前股价（10.66美元）高。虽然他们的看法可能已经改变，但至少说明当时他们感到乐观。对我们来说，考虑内部人士股票的购买价格非常重要。如果他们支付的价格高于当前价格，那么这通常更令人鼓舞，因为这表明他们看到了价值，即使在更高的水平上。

Does Methode Electronics Boast High Insider Ownership?
Methode Electronics 是否拥有高内部持股？
For a common shareholder, it is worth checking how many shares are held by company insiders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. It appears that Methode Electronics insiders own 2.9% of the company, worth about US$12m. We've certainly seen higher levels of insider ownership elsewhere, but these holdings are enough to suggest alignment between insiders and the other shareholders.
