【lavender salve c.o. bigelow】How Much Are MTY Food Group Inc. (TSE:MTY) Insiders Taking Off The Table?
We’ve lost count of how many times insiders have accumulated shares in a company that goes on to improve markedly. Thelavender salve c.o. bigelow flip side of that is that there are more than a few examples of insiders dumping stock prior to a period of weak performance. So shareholders might well want to know whether insiders have been buying or selling shares in
MTY Food Group Inc.
(
TSE:MTY
).
What Is Insider Buying?
It’s quite normal to see company insiders, such as board members, trading in company stock, from time to time. However, most countries require that the company discloses such transactions to the market.
Insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing. But logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares. 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 MTY Food Group
In the last twelve months, the biggest single sale by an insider was when Independent Director Dickie Orr sold CA$426k worth of shares at a price of CA$71.23 per share. That means that an insider was selling shares at around the current price of CA$61.73. They might be selling for a variety of reasons, but it’s hard to argue this is a bullish sign.

Insider Ownership
Many investors like to check how much of a company is owned by 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’s great to see that MTY Food Group insiders own 22% of the company, worth about CA$347m. This kind of significant ownership by insiders does generally increase the chance that the company is run in the interest of all shareholders.
So What Does This Data Suggest About MTY Food Group Insiders?
An insider hasn’t bought MTY Food Group stock in the last three months, but there was some selling. And our longer term analysis of insider transactions didn’t bring confidence, either. But since MTY Food Group is profitable and growing, we’re not too worried by this. While insiders do own a lot of shares in the company (which is good), our analysis of their transactions doesn’t make us feel confident about the company. If you are like me, you may want to think about whether this company will grow or shrink. Luckily, you can check this
