Boho Group AB (publ) (STO:BOHO) insiders who purchased shares in the last 12 months were richly rewarded last week. The stock climbed by 13% resulting in a kr53m addition to the company’s market value. As a result, the stock they originally bought for kr664.6k is now worth kr790.0k.
While we would never suggest that investors should base their decisions solely on what the directors of a company have been doing, logic dictates you should pay some attention to whether insiders are buying or selling shares.
Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider purchase was by Director & Partner Jorgen Cederholm for kr506k worth of shares, at about kr6.74 per share. We do like to see buying, but this purchase was made at well below the current price of kr8.24. Because the shares were purchased at a lower price, this particular buy doesn't tell us much about how insiders feel about the current share price.
Jorgen Cederholm bought 95.87k shares over the last 12 months at an average price of kr6.93.

Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. A high insider ownership often makes company leadership more mindful of shareholder interests. It appears that Boho Group insiders own 16% of the company, worth about kr76m. This level of insider ownership is good but just short of being particularly stand-out. It certainly does suggest a reasonable degree of alignment.
