The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Kidztech Holdings

In fact, the recent sale by Huang Yu was the biggest sale of Kidztech Holdings shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. That means that an insider was selling shares at slightly below the current price (HK$0.63). We generally consider it a negative if insiders have been selling, especially if they did so below the current price, because it implies that they considered a lower price to be reasonable. While insider selling is not a positive sign, we can't be sure if it does mean insiders think the shares are fully valued, so it's only a weak sign. We note that the biggest single sale was only 0.1%of Huang Yu's holding.

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. We usually like to see fairly high levels of insider ownership. Kidztech Holdings insiders own about HK$201m worth of shares (which is 61% of the company). I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
