The Last 12 Months Of Insider Transactions At Distribution Solutions Group

Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider purchase was by President & CEO of Lawson Products Cesar Lanuza for US$249k worth of shares, at about US$25.98 per share. That implies that an insider found the current price of US$28.08 per share to be enticing. While their view may have changed since the purchase was made, this does at least suggest they have had confidence in the company's future.
