Savaria Corporation (TSX:SIS), a prominent player in the healthcare sector, has recently seen notable insider transactions. Sylvain Aubry, the Chief Legal Officer & Corporate Secretary, recently sold shares worth CA$415,000 at an average price of CA$20.75 each. This sale represented a significant reduction of 81% in Aubry’s holdings, which could influence perceptions regarding the stock's future performance.

Recent Insider Transactions

Over the past year, Savaria has experienced a range of insider transactions.

Conversely, 35,000 shares were sold for CA$686,000 during the same period. This trend reveals a higher volume of purchasing compared to selling by Savaria insiders.
