The recent 12% drop in United Airlines Holdings, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:UAL) stock could come as a blow to insiders who purchased US$5.9m worth of stock at an average buy price of US$39.38 over the past 12 months. This is not good as insiders invest based on expectations that their money will appreciate over time. However, as a result of recent losses, their original investment is now worth only US$5.0m.
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.

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At United Airlines Holdings
The Independent Director Edward Shapiro made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$2.2m worth of shares at a price of US$45.20 each. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at above the current price of US$33.07. 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. As a general rule, we feel more positive about a stock when an insider has bought shares at above current prices, because that suggests they viewed the stock as good value, even at a higher price. Edward Shapiro was the only individual insider to buy during the last year.

Insider Ownership Of United Airlines Holdings
Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by insiders.

Insiders own 0.4% of United Airlines Holdings shares, worth about US$46m. We've certainly seen higher levels of insider ownership elsewhere, but these holdings are enough to suggest alignment between insiders and the other shareholders.
So What Do The United Airlines Holdings Insider Transactions Indicate?
It is good to see the recent insider purchase. And the longer term insider transactions also give us confidence. But on the other hand, the company made a loss during the last year, which makes us a little cautious. Given that insiders also own a fair bit of United Airlines Holdings we think they are probably pretty confident of a bright future.

最近12%的降幅美国联合航空控股公司纳斯达克股票代码:UAL)的股票对在过去12个月中以39.38美元的平均买入价购买了590万美元股票的内部人士来说可能是一个打击。这并不好,因为内部人士是基于他们的资金会随着时间的推移升值的预期进行投资的。然而,由于最近的亏损,他们最初的投资现在只值500万美元。
虽然我们永远不会建议投资者应该完全根据公司董事的所作所为做出决定,但我们确实认为,密切关注内部人士的所作所为是完全合乎逻辑的。

独立董事爱德华·夏皮罗在过去12个月里进行了最大规模的内部收购。这一笔交易是以每股45.20美元的价格收购价值220万美元的股票。这意味着一位内部人士乐于以高于目前33.07美元的价格购买股票。自那以后,他们的观点可能发生了变化,但至少这表明他们当时感到乐观。对我们来说,考虑内部人士为股票支付的价格非常重要。一般来说,当内部人士以高于当前价格的价格买入股票时,我们对股票的看法更积极,因为这表明他们认为股票很有价值,即使价格更高。爱德华·夏皮罗是去年唯一买入的个人内部人士。

在过去的三个月里,我们看到联合航空控股公司的内幕收购明显多于内幕出售。独立董事爱德华·夏皮罗斥资180万美元购买股票。但内部人士格雷戈里·哈特出售了价值54.4万美元的股票。我们认为,内部人士可能对未来持乐观态度,因为内部人士一直是股票的净买家。
美联航控股的内部人所有权
许多投资者喜欢查看一家公司有多少股份是由内部人士持有的。通常,内部人持股越高,内部人就越有可能受到激励,建立长期的公司。内部人士持有联合航空控股0.4%的股份,价值约4600万美元。我们当然在其他地方看到了更高水平的内部人持股,但这些持股足以表明内部人和其他股东之间的关系。
那么,联合航空控股公司的内幕交易表明了什么?
很高兴看到最近的内幕收购。而较长期的内幕交易也给了我们信心。但另一方面,该公司在过去一年中出现了亏损,这让我们有点谨慎。鉴于内部人士也持有美国联合航空公司相当多的股份,我们认为他们可能对光明的未来相当有信心。除了了解正在进行的内幕交易外,识别联合航空控股公司面临的风险也是有益的。例如-联合航空控股公司1个警告标志我们认为你应该意识到。
