Great news for Zoom2u Technologies Limited (ASX:Z2U): Insiders acquired stock in large numbers last year – Yahoo Finance
When a single insider purchases stock, it is typically not a major deal. However, when multiple insiders purchase stock, like in Zoom2u Technologies Limited’s (ASX:Z2U) instance, it’s good news for shareholders.
Although we don’t think shareholders should simply follow insider transactions, we do think it is perfectly logical to keep tabs on what insiders are doing.
Check out our latest analysis for Zoom2u Technologies
In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Founder Steve Orenstein bought AU$148k worth of shares at a price of AU$0.37 per share. So it’s clear an insider wanted to buy, even at a higher price than the current share price (being AU$0.095). Their view may have changed since then, but at least it shows they felt optimistic at the time. To us, it’s very important to consider the price insiders pay for shares. It is generally more encouraging if they paid above the current price, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels.
In the last twelve months Zoom2u Technologies insiders were buying shares, but not selling.

Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. Usually, the higher the insider ownership, the more likely it is that insiders will be incentivised to build the company for the long term. It appears that Zoom2u Technologies insiders own 38% of the company, worth about AU$7.0m. 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 doesn’t really mean much that no insider has traded Zoom2u Technologies shares in the last quarter. On a brighter note, the transactions over the last year are encouraging. Insiders do have a stake in Zoom2u Technologies and their transactions don’t cause us concern.

Bad is good and good is bad. No, that’s not an extract from Orwell’s 1984, but rather the stock market’s view of the jobs market at the end of 2022.
