Card Factory Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

In fact, the recent purchase by Paul Moody was the biggest purchase of Card Factory shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at around the current price of UK£0.59. While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future.

Does Card Factory Boast High Insider Ownership?

Looking at the total insider shareholdings in a company can help to inform your view of whether they are well aligned with common shareholders. I reckon it's a good sign if insiders own a significant number of shares in the company. Card Factory insiders own about UK£11m worth of shares. That equates to 5.4% of the company. We've certainly seen higher levels of insider ownership elsewhere, but these holdings are enough to suggest alignment between insiders and the other shareholders.

What Might The Insider Transactions At Card Factory Tell Us?

But on the other hand, the company made a loss during the last year, which makes us a little cautious.
