In the past year, the largest insider transaction at World Copper (TSX:WCU) was made by Director Robert Kopple, who acquired shares worth CA$1.0 million at a price of CA$0.07 per share. Although this purchase was made at a price lower than the current value of CA$0.09, insider buying is generally viewed as a positive indicator. However, because the shares were acquired at a lower price, this transaction doesn't offer much insight into insiders' views on the current share price.

Over the last year, insiders collectively spent CA$1.4 million to acquire 18.49 million shares. In contrast, insiders sold 1.80 million shares, valued at CA$180,000. Overall, World Copper insiders were net buyers during this period. The chart below details insider transactions over the last year, including individual transactions, share prices, and dates.

Over the last year, insiders have displayed a greater interest in acquiring shares. The level of insider ownership indicates that they hold a significant stake in the company, suggesting a reasonable alignment with other shareholders. While these insights into insider ownership and transactions are informative, they should be considered alongside the broader context of potential risks facing the company.
