The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Curaleaf Holdings

In fact, the recent purchase by Executive Chairman Boris Jordan was not their only acquisition of Curaleaf Holdings shares this year. Earlier in the year, they paid CA$9.72 per share in a CA$18m purchase. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at above the current price of CA$7.25. Their view may have changed since then, but at least it shows they felt optimistic at the time. In our view, the price an insider pays for shares is very important. As a general rule, we feel more positive about a stock if insiders have bought shares at above current prices, because that suggests they viewed the stock as good value, even at a higher price.

I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.

What Might The Insider Transactions At Curaleaf Holdings Tell Us?
