Mesoblast Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

In fact, the recent purchase by Non-Independent Non-Executive Director Gregory George was not their only acquisition of Mesoblast shares this year. Earlier in the year, they paid AU$2.73 per share in a AU$96m purchase. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at above the current price of AU$2.32. 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 generally more encouraging if they paid above the current price, as it suggests they saw value, even at higher levels.

Insider Ownership

Looking at the total insider shareholdings in a company can help to inform your view of whether they are well aligned with common shareholders. 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's great to see that Mesoblast insiders own 29% of the company, worth about AU$858m. I like to see this level of insider ownership, because it increases the chances that management are thinking about the best interests of shareholders.

So What Do The Mesoblast Insider Transactions Indicate?

It's certainly positive to see the recent insider purchase. And the longer term insider transactions also give us confidence. But we don't feel the same about the fact the company is making losses. When combined with notable insider ownership, these factors suggest Mesoblast insiders are well aligned, and quite possibly think the share price is too low. Nice!
