With Alta Copper Up 15%, Insider Buyers Count Their Returns
Alta Copper Corp. (TSE:ATCU) insiders who purchased shares in the last 12 months were richly rewarded last week. The stock climbed by 15% resulting in a CA$8.5m addition to the company's market value. In other words, the original US$300.5k purchase is now worth US$506.4k. While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Alta Copper Insider Transactions Over The Last Year The CEO, President & Director Giulio Bonifacio made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for CA$80k worth of shares at a price of CA$0.41 each. Although we like to see insider buying, we note that this large purchase was at significantly below the recent price of CA$0.71. 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. In the last twelve months Alta Copper insiders were buying shares, but not selling. The chart below shows insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year.

We usually like to see fairly high levels of insider ownership. Our data suggests Alta Copper insiders own 2.8% of the company, worth about CA$1.9m. I generally like to see higher levels of ownership. So What Do The Alta Copper Insider Transactions Indicate? We note a that there has been a bit of insider buying recently (but no selling). The net investment is not enough to encourage us much. However, our analysis of transactions over the last year is heartening. We'd like to see bigger individual holdings.
