What this transaction means for investors
On Sept. 15, Archer purchased 13,385 shares in a transaction valued at $250,166. For an insider, there are plenty of reasons to sell shares. They could be selling because of a pre-established trading plan, a rising stock price, or because of concern about the direction of the company they are part of. That said, purchasing shares typically signals that an insider believes the stock price will go higher. For Target Hospitality, with the stock price skyrocketing 135% over the past 12 months as of this writing, it should be particularly encouraging for shareholders to see that Archer is still purchasing shares, adding to his substantial holdings, which now total more than 1.8 million shares.
For shareholders, along with the bullish insider purchase, another positive sign is that analysts see even more upside ahead for Target Hospitality's stock price. According to CNN, the median one-year price target from the six analysts covering the stock is $25.50. Based on the price as of this writing ($20.25), reaching $25.50 would represent a 25.8% return. The most bullish price target from the group, $32, would represent a gain of roughly 58%. And even the lowest price target, $23, would still represent a 13.5% gain.
