Even if it's not a huge purchase, we think it was good to see that Timothy Kestell, the Independent Non-Executive Director of Toubani Resources Limited (ASX:TRE) recently shelled out AU$150k to buy stock, at AU$0.11 per share. Even though that isn't a massive buy, it did increase their holding by 82%, which is arguably a good sign.

We do like to see buying, but this purchase was made at well below the current price of AU$0.17. While it does suggest insiders consider the stock undervalued at lower prices, this transaction doesn't tell us much about what they think of current prices.

So What Does This Data Suggest About Toubani Resources Insiders?

The recent insider purchases are heartening. We also take confidence from the longer term picture of insider transactions. However, we note that the company didn't make a profit over the last twelve months, which makes us cautious. We would certainly prefer see higher levels of insider ownership but analysis of the insider transactions suggests that Toubani Resources insiders are expecting a bright future. While it's good to be aware of what's going on with the insider's ownership and transactions, we make sure to also consider what risks are facing a stock before making any investment decision.
