This BlueLinx Holdings Insider Increased Their Holding In The Last Year
Looking at BlueLinx Holdings Inc.'s (NYSE:BXC ) insider transactions over the last year, we can see that insiders were net buyers. That is, there were more number of shares purchased by insiders than there were sold. While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, we would consider it foolish to ignore insider transactions altogether. Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit. Notably, that recent purchase by C. Wall is the biggest insider purchase of BlueLinx Holdings shares that we've seen in the last year. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at above the current price of US$65.87. While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future. To us, it's very important to consider the price insiders pay for shares. Generally speaking, it catches our eye when an insider has purchased shares at above current prices, as it suggests they believed the shares were worth buying, even at a higher price. C. Wall was the only individual insider to buy shares in the last twelve months. C. Wall purchased 7.15k shares over the year. The average price per share was US$69.80. You can see the insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year depicted in the chart below. If you want to know exactly who sold, for how much, and when, simply click on the graph below! View our latest analysis for BlueLinx Holdings BlueLinx Holdings is not the only stock insiders are buying. So take a peek at this free list of under-the-radar companies with insider buying. I like to look at how many shares insiders own in a company, to help inform my view of how aligned they are with insiders. We usually like to see fairly high levels of insider ownership. BlueLinx Holdings insiders own about US$21m worth of shares. That equates to 4.0% 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. The recent insider purchase is heartening. We also take confidence from the longer term picture of insider transactions. Insiders likely see value in BlueLinx Holdings shares, given these transactions (along with notable insider ownership of the company). So while it's helpful to know what insiders are doing in terms of buying or selling, it's also helpful to know the risks that a particular company is facing. For example - BlueLinx Holdings has 1 warning sign we think you should be aware of. If you would prefer to check out another company -- one with potentially superior financials -- then do not miss this free list of interesting companies, that have HIGH return on equity and low debt. For the purposes of this article, insiders are those individuals who report their transactions to the relevant regulatory body.
