Yves Andre Istel

Yves Andre Istel discloses dealings in 2 companies, chiefly Imperial Sugar Co /NEW/ and Analog Devices Inc. We count 86 filings; the first trade dates from 3 February 2006 and the latest from 9 March 2016.

The open-market side counts 16 purchases for €269k alongside 42 sales for €4.2M. Netting one side against the other leaves €4.0M of net selling. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. Besides market trades, the filings include 7 share grants and 21 option exercises.

Half of the purchases are above €9,866 and half below. Looking at 13 purchases old enough to measure, the stock rose over the following 90 days in 100% of cases; the median change was +22.6%. They describe history only and say nothing certain about the share price ahead.

On 11 March 2016 came the latest disclosure, an option exercise in Analog Devices Inc. The clock since the last published purchase (14 January 2015) now reads 4,301 days. Typically, a trade is published a median of 2 days after it takes place. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify. Source: insider filings from SEC (Form 4). Past trades are no guide to future returns.
