Viewing insider transactions for Want Want China Holdings Limited's (HKG:151 ) over the last year, we see that insiders were net buyers. This means that a larger number of shares were purchased by insiders in relation to shares sold.

Although we don't think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.

Want Want China Holdings Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

Notably, that recent purchase by Eng-Meng Tsai is the biggest insider purchase of Want Want China Holdings shares that we've seen in the last year. That implies that an insider found the current price of HK$4.42 per share to be enticing. Of course they may have changed their mind. But this suggests they are optimistic. While we always like to see insider buying, it's less meaningful if the purchases were made at much lower prices, as the opportunity they saw may have passed. In this case we're pleased to report that the insider bought shares at close to current prices. Eng-Meng Tsai was the only individual insider to buy shares in the last twelve months.

Eng-Meng Tsai purchased 2.73m shares over the year. The average price per share was HK$4.20. The chart below shows insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year. By clicking on the graph below, you can see the precise details of each insider transaction!
