Deliveroo Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
The CFO & Director Adam Miller made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for UK£118k worth of shares at a price of UK£1.41 each. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, even at a higher price than the current share price (being UK£0.85). It's very possible they regret the purchase, but it's more likely they are bullish about the company. We always take careful note of the price insiders pay when purchasing shares. It is encouraging to see an insider paid above the current price for shares, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels. The only individual insider to buy over the last year was Adam Miller. Notably Adam Miller was also the biggest seller.

Insider Ownership
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. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. Deliveroo insiders own 7.0% of the company, currently worth about UK£110m based on the recent share price. I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.
