Now Playing: One Reason For Insiders to Buy


If the video does not load after a few moments, Upgrade to the Latest Flash Player.


There's an old saying on Wall Street about insider buying: there are many possible reasons to sell a stock, but only one reason to buy. Back on January 30, NewMarket Corp's Director, Mark M. Gambill, invested $128,035.00 into 500 shares of NEU, for a cost per share of $256.07. Bargain hunters tend to pay particular attention to insider buys like this one, because presumably the only reason an insider would take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock of their company in the open market, is that they expect to make money.

In trading on Monday, bargain hunters could buy shares of NewMarket Corp (NYSE:NEU) and achieve a cost basis even cheaper than Gambill, with shares changing hands as low as $255.16 per share. NewMarket Corp shares are currently trading off about 0.9% on the day. The chart below shows the one year performance of NEU shares, versus its 200 day moving average:

Looking at the chart above, NEU's low point in its 52 week range is $172.50 per share, with $291.10 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $256.15. By comparison, below is a table showing the prices at which insider buying was recorded over the last six months:

Purchased Insider Title Shares Price/Share Value
01/30/2013 Patrick D. Hanley Director 200 $256.17 $51,234.00
01/30/2013 Mark M. Gambill Director 500 $256.07 $128,035.00

The current annualized dividend paid by NewMarket Corp is $3.00/share, currently paid in quarterly installments, and its most recent dividend ex-date was on 12/05/2012. Below is a long-term dividend history chart for NEU, which can be of good help in judging whether the most recent dividend with approx. 1.2% annualized yield is likely to continue.

According to the ETF Finder at ETF Channel, NEU makes up 1.19% of the Dynamic Basic Materials Sector Portfolio ETF (AMEX:PYZ) which is trading lower by about 1.1% on the day Monday.
