Insider transactions in Palladyne AI over the last 12 months
We can see that the biggest insider purchase over the last year was by insider William Carver for US$932k worth of shares (about US$8.61 per share). So it’s clear that insiders wanted to buy at a higher price than the current share price ($8.43). It’s entirely possible that they regret their purchase, but it’s more likely that they’re bullish on the company. For us, it’s very important to consider the price insiders pay for shares. Generally, if you paid more than the current price, it’s more reassuring because it suggests you saw value even at a higher level.
We can see that insiders bought 191,13,000 shares worth US$1.1m in the last year. Meanwhile, they sold 121.61 thousand shares for USD 778 thousand.

Does Palladyne AI boast high insider ownership?
I like to see how many shares a company’s insiders own in a company, as it can tell us how well aligned a company is with its insiders. A high insider ownership often makes company leaders more focused on shareholder interests. Paradyne AI insiders own approximately $91m worth of shares. This represents 23% of the company. Certainly, we’ve seen higher levels of insider ownership elsewhere, but these holdings are enough to suggest alignment between insiders and other shareholders.
So what do Palladyne AI insider trading show?
