The Executive Chairman of Huajun International Group Limited (HKG:377), Guang Bao Meng, Just Bought A Few More Shares

Even if it's not a huge purchase, we think it was good to see that Guang Bao Meng, the Executive Chairman of Huajun International Group Limited (HKG:377) recently shelled out HK$64k to buy stock, at HK$11.49 per share. Nevertheless, it only increased their shareholding by a minuscule percentage, and it wasn't a massive purchase by absolute value, either.

Huajun International Group Insider Transactions Over The Last Year

Earlier in the year, Executive Chairman Guang Bao Meng paid HK$10.65 per share in a HK$112k purchase. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, at around the current price, which is HK$12.00. 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. We do always like to see insider buying, but it is worth noting if those purchases were made at well below today's share price, as the discount to value may have narrowed with the rising price. Happily, the Huajun International Group insider decided to buy shares at close to current prices. Guang Bao Meng was the only individual insider to buy shares in the last twelve months.

Guang Bao Meng purchased 37.20k shares over the year. The average price per share was HK$10.67. You can see the insider transactions (by individuals) over the last year depicted in the chart below. If you want to know exactly who sold, for how much, and when, simply click on the graph below!
