Insider Buys Additional AU$77k In EDU Holdings Stock

Whilst it may not be a huge deal, we thought it was good to see that the EDU Holdings Limited (ASX:EDU) CEO, MD & Non-Independent Director, Adam Davis, recently bought AU$77k worth of stock, for AU$0.77 per share. Nevertheless, it only increased their shareholding by a minuscule percentage, and it wasn't a massive purchase by absolute value, either.

In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Non-Independent Non-Executive Interim Chair Peter Mobbs bought AU$1.6m worth of shares at a price of AU$0.72 per share. Although we like to see insider buying, we note that this large purchase was at significantly below the recent price of AU$0.81. Because the shares were purchased at a lower price, this particular buy doesn't tell us much about how insiders feel about the current share price.

EDU Holdings insiders own about AU$36m worth of shares. That equates to 35% of the company. While this is a strong but not outstanding level of insider ownership, it's enough to indicate some alignment between management and smaller shareholders.
