| Top Buys by Directors: Gill's $241.4K Bet on UBFOBy Dividend Channel Staff, Thursday, December 28, 1:37 PM 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 $241.4K by Jagroop Gill, Director at United Security Bancshares (NASDAQ:UBFO). Gill bets big on UBFO:
Gill's average cost works out to $7.00/share. Shares of United Security Bancshares were changing hands at $8.70 at last check, trading up about 2% on Thursday. The chart below shows the one year performance of UBFO shares, versus its 200 day moving average:
Looking at the chart above, UBFO's low point in its 52 week range is $5.50 per share, with $8.74 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $8.70. The current annualized dividend paid by United Security Bancshares is $0.48/share, currently paid in quarterly installments, and its most recent dividend has an upcoming ex-date of 01/02/2024.
