Anyone interested in AirJoule Technologies Corporation (NASDAQ:AIRJ) should probably be aware that the CEO & Director, Matthew Jore, recently divested US$153k worth of shares in the company, at an average price of US$3.06 each. However, the silver lining is that the sale only reduced their total holding by 0.6%, so we're hesitant to read anything much into it, on its own.
In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Independent Lead Director Stuart Porter bought US$1m worth of shares at a price of US$2.95 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, at around the current price, which is US$3.08. Of course they may have changed their mind. But this suggests they are optimistic. While we always like to see insider buying, it's less meaningful if the purchases were made at much lower prices, as the opportunity they saw may have passed. Happily, the AirJoule Technologies insiders decided to buy shares at close to current prices.
Over the last year, we can see that insiders have bought 625.73k shares worth US$1.9m. But insiders sold 57.31k shares worth US$187k. Overall, AirJoule Technologies insiders were net buyers during the last year. The chart below shows insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year.
