We often see insiders buying up shares in companies that perform well over the long term. Unfortunately, there are also plenty of examples of share prices declining precipitously after insiders have sold shares. So before you buy or sell
Uni-Select Inc.
(
TSE:UNS
), you may well want to know whether insiders have been buying or selling.
What Is Insider Selling?
It is perfectly legal for company insiders, including board members, to buy and sell stock in a company. However, rules govern insider transactions, and certain disclosures are required.
We would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing. But it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing. For example, a Harvard University
study
found that ‘insider purchases earn abnormal returns of more than 6% per year.’

The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Uni-Select
In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Non-Independent Non-Executive Director Richard Roy bought CA$98k worth of shares at a price of CA$19.59 per share. That means that even when the share price was higher, 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. We generally consider it a positive if insiders have been buying on market, even above the current price.
Happily, we note that in the last year insiders bought 12.00k shares for a total of CA$238k. In the last twelve months there was more buying than selling by Uni-Select insiders. The average buy price was around CA$19.87. I’d consider this a positive as it suggests insiders see value at around the current price, which is CA$19.32.
