Insiders' US$1.59m Investments In Red Following CommScope Holding Company's US$51m Dip In Market Value
Insiders' US$1.59m Investments In Red Following CommScope Holding Company's US$51m Dip In Market Value
The recent price decline of 19% in CommScope Holding Company, Inc.'s (NASDAQ:COMM) stock may have disappointed insiders who bought US$1.59m worth of shares at an average price of US$2.13 in the past 12 months. Insiders purchase with the hope of seeing their investments increase in value over time. However, due to recent losses, their initial investment is now only worth US$747.6k, which is not great.
While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether.
CommScope Holding Company Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider purchase was by President Charles Treadway for US$250k worth of shares, at about US$1.63 per share. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at above the current price of US$1.00. Their view may have changed since then, but at least it shows they felt optimistic at the time. We always take careful note of the price insiders pay when purchasing shares. It is generally more encouraging if they paid above the current price, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels.
While CommScope Holding Company insiders bought shares during the last year, they didn't sell. They paid about US$2.13 on average. This is nice to see since it implies that insiders might see value around current prices. The chart below shows insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year.

Insider Ownership Of CommScope Holding Company
Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. From our data, it seems that CommScope Holding Company insiders own 2.8% of the company, worth about US$6.4m. Overall, this level of ownership isn't that impressive, but it's certainly better than nothing!
What Might The Insider Transactions At CommScope Holding Company Tell Us?
The recent insider purchases are heartening. We also take confidence from the longer term picture of insider transactions. However, we note that the company didn't make a profit over the last twelve months, which makes us cautious. While the overall levels of insider ownership are below what we'd like to see, the history of transactions imply that CommScope Holding Company insiders are reasonably well aligned, and optimistic for the future. In addition to knowing about insider transactions going on, it's beneficial to identify the risks facing CommScope Holding Company.

康普控股公司(納斯達克股票代碼:COMM)股價近期下跌 19%,這可能令過去 12 個月以平均價格 2.13 美元購買了價值 159 萬美元股票的內部人士感到失望。內部人士購買是希望隨着時間的推移看到他們的投資價值增加。但是,由於最近的虧損,他們的初始投資現在僅值74.76萬美元,這並不理想。
儘管我們絕不會建議投資者僅根據公司董事的所作所爲做出決定,但我們認爲完全忽視內幕交易是愚蠢的。
康普控股公司去年的內幕交易
在過去的一年中,我們可以看到,最大的內幕收購是查爾斯·特雷德韋總統以每股約1.63美元的價格購買了價值25萬美元的股票。這意味着內部人士樂於以高於當前1.00美元的價格購買股票。從那以後,他們的觀點可能發生了變化,但至少這表明他們當時感到樂觀。我們始終仔細注意內部人士在購買股票時支付的價格。如果他們支付的費用高於當前價格,通常會更令人鼓舞,因爲這表明即使在更高的水平上,他們也看到了價值。
儘管康普控股公司的內部人士在去年購買了股票,但他們並沒有賣出。他們平均支付約2.13美元。這很高興看到,因爲這意味着內部人士可能會看到當前價格附近的價值。下圖顯示了去年的內幕交易(公司和個人)。如果你想確切地知道誰賣了、賣了多少以及何時出售,只需點擊下圖!

康普控股公司內部人士最近購買了股票
在過去的一個季度中,康普控股公司的內部人士在股票上花費了大量資金。在此期間,內部人士總共購買了價值26.8萬美元的股票,我們沒有任何銷售記錄。這對我們的書來說是一個積極的方面,因爲它意味着一定的信心。
康普控股公司的內部所有權
測試公司領導者與其他股東之間一致性的另一種方法是查看他們擁有多少股份。我認爲,如果內部人士擁有該公司的大量股份,這是一個好兆頭。從我們的數據來看,康普控股公司內部人士似乎擁有該公司2.8%的股份,價值約640萬美元。總的來說,這種所有權水平並不那麼令人印象深刻,但肯定總比沒有好!
康普控股公司的內幕交易可能告訴我們什麼?
最近的內幕收購令人振奮。我們還從內幕交易的長期前景中汲取信心。但是,我們注意到該公司在過去十二個月中沒有盈利,這使我們謹慎行事。儘管內部人士的總體所有權水平低於我們的預期,但交易歷史表明,康普控股公司的內部人士相當一致,對未來持樂觀態度。除了了解正在進行的內幕交易外,確定康普控股公司面臨的風險也是有益的。爲此,你應該了解我們在康普控股公司發現的3個警告信號(包括一個讓我們有點不舒服的信號)。
但請注意:康普控股公司可能不是最值得購買的股票。因此,來看看這份投資回報率高、債務低的有趣公司的免費清單。
