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.
Edward Shapiro bought 150.00k shares over the last 12 months at an average price of US$39.38.

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

聯合航空控股並不是業內人士唯一買入的股票。所以讓我們來看看這個免費內幕收購的成長型公司名單。
聯合航空控股的內部人士最近買入了股票
在過去的三個月裏,我們看到聯合航空控股公司的內幕收購明顯多於內幕出售。獨立董事愛德華·夏皮羅斥資180萬美元購買股票。但內部人士格雷戈裏·哈特出售了價值54.4萬美元的股票。我們認為,內部人士可能對未來持樂觀態度,因為內部人士一直是股票的淨買家。
美聯航控股的內部人所有權
許多投資者喜歡查看一家公司有多少股份是由內部人士持有的。通常,內部人持股越高,內部人就越有可能受到激勵,建立長期的公司。內部人士持有聯合航空控股0.4%的股份,價值約4600萬美元。我們當然在其他地方看到了更高水平的內部人持股,但這些持股足以表明內部人和其他股東之間的關係。
那麼,聯合航空控股公司的內幕交易表明了什麼?
很高興看到最近的內幕收購。而較長期的內幕交易也給了我們信心。但另一方面,該公司在過去一年中出現了虧損,這讓我們有點謹慎。鑑於內部人士也持有美國聯合航空公司相當多的股份,我們認為他們可能對光明的未來相當有信心。除了瞭解正在進行的內幕交易外,識別聯合航空控股公司面臨的風險也是有益的。例如-聯合航空控股公司1個警告標誌我們認為你應該意識到。
