Nicholas Financial Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
In fact, the recent purchase by Jeffrey Royal was the biggest purchase of Nicholas Financial shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, at around the current price, which is US$6.62. 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. If someone buys shares at well below current prices, it's a good sign on balance, but keep in mind they may no longer see value. In this case we're pleased to report that the insider purchases were made at close to current prices.
In the last twelve months Nicholas Financial insiders were buying shares, but not selling. They paid about US$7.93 on average.

Insider Ownership Of Nicholas Financial
I like to look at how many shares insiders own in a company, to help inform my view of how aligned they are with 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. Based on our data, Nicholas Financial insiders have about 2.4% of the stock, worth approximately US$1.2m. But they may have an indirect interest through a corporate structure that we haven't picked up on. We prefer to see high levels of insider ownership.
So What Do The Nicholas Financial Insider Transactions Indicate?
It is good to see the recent insider purchase. And an analysis of the transactions over the last year also gives us confidence. But on the other hand, the company made a loss during the last year, which makes us a little cautious. We would certainly prefer see higher levels of insider ownership but analysis of the insider transactions suggests that Nicholas Financial insiders are expecting a bright future. 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. To that end, you should learn about the 2 warning signs we've spotted with Nicholas Financial (including 1 which is potentially serious).

尼古拉斯金融公司的內部人所有權
我喜歡看內部人士在一家公司持有多少股份,以幫助我瞭解他們與內部人士的關係。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。根據我們的數據,Nicholas Financial內部人士持有該公司約2.4%的股份,價值約120萬美元。但他們可能通過一種我們沒有注意到的公司結構擁有間接利益。我們更願意看到高水平的內部人持股。
那麼,尼古拉斯金融內幕交易表明了什麼?
很高興看到最近的內幕收購。對過去一年交易的分析也給了我們信心。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。我們當然更希望看到更高水平的內部人持股,但對內幕交易的分析表明,Nicholas Financial內部人士預計未來會很光明。雖然我們喜歡知道內部人士的所有權和交易情況,但在做出任何投資決定之前,我們也要確保考慮到一隻股票面臨的風險。為此,您應該瞭解2個警告標誌我們已經發現了Nicholas Financial(包括1個潛在的嚴重問題)。
