Q: In your answer to Kim yesterday, you indicated that there had been no news to explain the decline in DRX. However, after reaching a multi-year high on June 11, there was a trading halt on June 13 to announce the purchase and cancellation of almost 2.8 million shares from an insider family at $3 below market value. The shares have been on the decline since this announcement. Is it possible this large insider sale is being considered as a lack of confidence in the stock or an indication that the stock has perhaps maxed out in the short term?
5i Research Answer:
Sorry, we meant no NEW news. This issue has been discussed extensively in our Q&A. Yes, it was an insider sale. BUT the shares were bought and cancelled by the company, so a bit of an offset there. Also, with a 302% gain in the stock in a year, insiders still have more dollars at risk in the stock than they did a year ago. We are OK with the sale considering these points.
