The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Tritech Group

Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider purchase was by insider Sui Hee Lee for S$125k worth of shares, at about S$0.025 per share. That means that even when the share price was higher than S$0.019 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. It's very possible they regret the purchase, but it's more likely they are bullish about the company. In our view, the price an insider pays for shares is very important. It is encouraging to see an insider paid above the current price for shares, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels. Sui Hee Lee was the only individual insider to buy during the last year.
