Featured below are companies that have experienced recent insider trading activity in the public market through their direct and indirect ownerships, including accounts they have control or direction over.

The list features insider transaction activity; it does not convey total ownership information as an insider may hold numerous accounts.

Keep in mind, when looking at transaction activities by insiders, purchasing activity may reflect perceived value in a security. Selling activity may or may not be related to a stock’s valuation; perhaps an insider needs to raise money for personal reasons. An insider’s total holdings should be considered because a sale may, in context, be insignificant if this person has a large remaining position in the company. I tend to put great weight on insider transaction activity when I see multiple insiders trading a company’s shares or units.

Listed below are two stocks that have had recent buying activity reported by insiders.

Alimentation Couche-Tard Inc. (ATD.B-T)

In a relatively small transaction, on Oct. 2, Alex Miller, executive vice-president – commercial optimization, acquired 1,443 shares at an average cost per share of roughly US$34.66. The cost of this investment totaled just over US$50,000.

The company pays its shareholders a quarterly dividend of 9.5 cents per share or 38 cents per share yearly, equating to a current annualized yield of 5 per cent.
