Exxon Mobil Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when Independent Director Michael Angelakis bought US$1.4m worth of shares at a price of US$57.16 per share. So it's clear an insider wanted to buy, at around the current price, which is US$62.59. That means they have been optimistic about the company in the past, though they may have changed their mind. While we always like to see insider buying, it's less meaningful if the purchases were made at much lower prices, as the opportunity they saw may have passed. The good news for Exxon Mobil share holders is that an insider was buying at near the current price. Michael Angelakis was the only individual insider to buy shares in the last twelve months.
