| Top Buys by Directors: Stephenson's $1M Bet on WMTBy Dividend Channel Staff, Tuesday, March 16, 11:15 AM ET
The directors of a company tend to have a unique inside view into the business, so when directors make major buys, investors are wise to take notice. Presumably the only reason a director of a company would choose to take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock in the open market, is that they expect to make money — maybe they find the stock very undervalued, or maybe they see exciting progress within the company, or maybe both. So in this series we look at the largest insider buys by company directors over the trailing six month period, one of which was a total of $1M by Randall L. Stephenson, Director at Walmart Inc (NYSE:WMT). Stephenson bets big on WMT:
Stephenson's average cost works out to $129.63/share. Shares of Walmart Inc were changing hands at $133.91 at last check, trading up about 0.4% on Tuesday. The chart below shows the one year performance of WMT shares, versus its 200 day moving average:
Looking at the chart above, WMT's low point in its 52 week range is $106.8466 per share, with $153.6597 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $133.91. The current annualized dividend paid by Walmart Inc is $2.2/share, currently paid in quarterly installments, and its most recent dividend has an upcoming ex-date of 03/18/2021. Below is a long-term dividend history chart for WMT, which can be of good help in judging whether the most recent dividend with approx. 1.6% annualized yield is likely to continue.
