CyberCatch Holdings, Inc. (CVE:CYBE) insiders who purchased shares in the last 12 months were richly rewarded last week. The stock climbed by 42% resulting in a CA$24m addition to the company’s market value. As a result, their original purchase of CA$980.0k worth of stock is now worth CA$18.0m.

While insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether.

CyberCatch Holdings Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

The Founder Sai Huda made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for CA$980k worth of shares at a price of CA$0.20 each. We do like to see buying, but this purchase was made at well below the current price of CA$3.68. While it does suggest insiders consider the stock undervalued at lower prices, this transaction doesn't tell us much about what they think of current prices.
