The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At 1stdibs.Com

The Chairperson & CEO David Rosenblatt made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$301k worth of shares at a price of US$13.37 each. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at above the current price of US$7.23. Their view may have changed since then, but at least it shows they felt optimistic at the time. We always take careful note of the price insiders pay when purchasing 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. David Rosenblatt was the only individual insider to buy during the last year.

Insider Ownership

Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. 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 6.9% of 1stdibs.Com shares, worth about US$19m. This level of insider ownership is good but just short of being particularly stand-out. It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment.
