The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Glory Sun Financial Group

In fact, the recent purchase by Jianhui Yao was the biggest purchase of Glory Sun Financial Group shares made by an insider individual in the last twelve months, according to our records. That implies that an insider found the current price of HK$0.28 per share to be enticing. 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. 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. The good news for Glory Sun Financial Group share holders is that an insider was buying at near the current price. Jianhui Yao was the only individual insider to buy over the year.
