The recent 13% drop in Resources & Energy Group Limited's (ASX:REZ) stock could come as a blow to insiders who purchased AU$798.2k worth of stock at an average buy price of AU$0.022 over the past 12 months. Insiders invest with the hopes of seeing their money grow in value over time. However, as a result of recent losses, their initial investment is now only worth AU$471.1k, which is not what they expected.
While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.
Resources & Energy Group Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when insider Carl Charalambous bought AU$271k worth of shares at a price of AU$0.051 per share. That means that even when the share price was higher than AU$0.013 (the recent price), an insider wanted to purchase shares. Their view may have changed since then, but at least it shows they felt optimistic at the time. To us, it's very important to consider the price insiders pay for shares. It is encouraging to see an insider paid above the current price for shares, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels. The only individual insider to buy over the last year was Carl Charalambous. Notably Carl Charalambous was also the biggest seller.
Carl Charalambous bought a total of 36.24m shares over the year at an average price of AU$0.022. The chart below shows insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year. By clicking on the graph below, you can see the precise details of each insider transaction!

Insider Ownership Of Resources & Energy Group
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. It appears that Resources & Energy Group insiders own 38% of the company, worth about AU$3.8m. This level of insider ownership is good but just short of being particularly stand-out. It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment.
