Duos Technologies Group Insider Transactions Over The Last Year
In the last twelve months, the biggest single purchase by an insider was when insider Sandra Pessin bought US$1.2m worth of shares at a price of US$4.00 per share. That implies that an insider found the current price of US$4.11 per share to be enticing. 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. 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 Duos Technologies Group share holders is that insiders were buying at near the current price.
