Soilbuild Construction Group Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
In fact, the recent purchase by Han Ren Lim was the biggest purchase of Soilbuild Construction Group shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. That means that even when the share price was higher than S$0.035 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future. In our view, the price an insider pays for shares is very important. As a general rule, we feel more positive about a stock if insiders have bought shares at above current prices, because that suggests they viewed the stock as good value, even at a higher price.

Insider Ownership
Looking at the total insider shareholdings in a company can help to inform your view of whether they are well aligned with common shareholders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. Soilbuild Construction Group insiders own 70% of the company, currently worth about S$36m based on the recent share price. I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
So What Do The Soilbuild Construction Group Insider Transactions Indicate?
It is good to see the recent insider purchase. And the longer term insider transactions also give us confidence. However, we note that the company didn't make a profit over the last twelve months, which makes us cautious. Once you factor in the high insider ownership, it certainly seems like insiders are positive about Soilbuild Construction Group. That's what I like to see! While we like knowing what's going on with the insider's ownership and transactions, we make sure to also consider what risks are facing a stock before making any investment decision. At Simply Wall St, we've found that Soilbuild Construction Group has 4 warning signs (3 shouldn't be ignored!) that deserve your attention before going any further with your analysis.
