Executives buying with their own money is usually read as confidence in the company’s future.
An investor who bought at the very peak is down 99% today. The business is the same; what changed most is the price — and the expectations — the market pins on it.
Over the last 12 months, company executives reported 20 buys and 1 sell. Management buying with its own money is usually read as a good sign.
A loss of $70.5M against $544.6M in annual sales. And on top of that, sales fell from the year before.
The stock sits at $0.11. Under exchange rules, stocks that stay below $1 for too long risk being removed from the market.
