In fact, the recent purchase by Philip Copeland was the biggest purchase of xReality Group shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, even at a higher price than the current share price (being AU$0.029). 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. We always take careful note of the price insiders pay when purchasing shares. It is generally more encouraging if they paid above the current price, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels. Happily, we note that in the last year insiders paid AU$383k for 10.82m shares. But they sold 2.63m shares for AU$100k.

A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. Insiders own 19% of xReality Group shares, worth about AU$3.7m. While this is a strong but not outstanding level of insider ownership, it's enough to indicate some alignment between management and smaller shareholders. It's certainly positive to see the recent insider purchases. And an analysis of the transactions over the last year also gives us confidence. But we don't feel the same about the fact the company is making losses. Given that insiders also own a fair bit of xReality Group we think they are probably pretty confident of a bright future.
