Now Playing: One Reason For Insiders to Buy


If the video does not load after a few moments, Upgrade to the Latest Flash Player.

There's an old saying on Wall Street about insider buying: there are many possible reasons to sell a stock, but only one reason to buy. Back on November 23, PHI Inc's Director, Thomas H. Murphy, invested $20,535.50 into 1,000 shares of PHII, for a cost per share of $20.54. Bargain hunters tend to pay particular attention to insider buys like this one, because presumably the only reason an insider would take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock of their company in the open market, is that they expect to make money.

In trading on Monday, bargain hunters could buy shares of PHI Inc (NASDAQ:PHII) and achieve a cost basis even cheaper than Murphy, with shares changing hands as low as $20.50 per share. PHI Inc shares are currently trading up about 1.9% on the day. The chart below shows the one year performance of PHII shares, versus its 200 day moving average:

Looking at the chart above, PHII's low point in its 52 week range is $16.50 per share, with $26.36 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $20.58. By comparison, below is a table showing the prices at which insider buying was recorded over the last six months:

PHII operates in the Oil & Gas Equipment & Services sector, among companies like Carbo Ceramics Inc. (NYSE:CRR) which is up about 4.5% today, and Oil States International, Inc. (NYSE:OIS) trading up by about 7.2%. Below is a three month price history chart comparing the stock performance of PHII, versus CRR and OIS.
