We often see insiders buying up shares in companies that perform well over the long term. Thejay a hoffer funeral home obituaries flip side of that is that there are more than a few examples of insiders dumping stock prior to a period of weak performance. So we’ll take a look at whether insiders have been buying or selling shares in
Colony Bankcorp, Inc.
(
NASDAQ:CBAN
).
What Is Insider Buying?
Most investors know that it is quite permissible for company leaders, such as directors of the board, to buy and sell stock on the market. However, most countries require that the company discloses such transactions to the market.
Insider transactions are not the most important thing when it comes to long-term investing. But logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares. For example, a Colombia University
study
found that ‘insiders are more likely to engage in open market purchases of their own company’s stock when the firm is about to reveal new agreements with customers and suppliers’.

Colony Bankcorp Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
President & CEO Thomas Fountain made the biggest insider purchase in the last 12 months. That single transaction was for US$174k worth of shares at a price of US$17.39 each. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at above the current price. 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. It’s not at all bad to see insiders buy shares at or above current prices.
Happily, we note that in the last year insiders paid US$302k for 17.52k shares. But insiders sold 5.00k shares worth US$78k. Overall, Colony Bankcorp insiders were net buyers last year. They paid about US$17.21 on average. I’d consider this a positive as it suggests insiders see value at around the current price, which is US$14.38.
