We recently published a list of 10 Stocks Insiders Are Buying This Year. In this article, we are going to take a look at where Flowco Holdings Inc. (NYSE:FLOC) stands against other stocks that insiders are buying this year.
Even though this is just the beginning of the year, we thought it might be interesting to see what stocks have attracted the most attention from insiders. Why? Sometimes, when executives or insiders acquire shares early in the year, it could mean that they expect strong financial results or positive company developments.
On the other hand, insiders sometimes sell shares at the beginning of the year for tax reasons. For example, they can sell shares to harvest tax loss or to balance out gains/losses from the previous year.
Both insider selling and buying can be driven by various motives, however, it’s important to consider these moves within the broader context of the company’s fundamentals, industry trends, and overall market conditions. That’s why due diligence before any investment is of the utmost importance. However, insider trading activity in combination with other relevant determinants can offer valuable insights into a company’s capabilities, helping investors make more informed investment decisions.
To identify the 10 stocks insiders are buying this year we used Insider Monkey’s insider trading stock screener and looked for stocks with at least five insiders buying since the beginning of the year. With each stock, we note the number of insiders who recently bought shares.
