| Top Buys by Top Brass: Chief Executive Officer Wentworth's $242.2K Bet on WBABy Dividend Channel Staff, Wednesday, April 3, 2:16 PM ET
A company's own top management tend to have the best inside view into the business, so when company officers make major buys, investors are wise to take notice. 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 — 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 the ''top brass'' over the trailing six month period, one of which was a total of $242.2K by Timothy C. Wentworth, Chief Executive Officer at Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc (NASDAQ:WBA). Wentworth bets big on WBA:
Wentworth's average cost works out to $24.22/share. In trading on Wednesday, bargain hunters could buy shares of Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc (NASDAQ:WBA) and achieve a cost basis lower than Wentworth, with shares changing hands as low as $18.58 per share. It should be noted that Wentworth has collected $0.25/share in dividends since the time of their purchase, so they are currently down 22.3% on their purchase from a total return basis. Shares of Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc were changing hands at $18.65 at last check, trading down about 0.4% on Wednesday. The chart below shows the one year performance of WBA shares, versus its 200 day moving average:
Looking at the chart above, WBA's low point in its 52 week range is $18.58 per share, with $36.58 as the 52 week high point — that compares with a last trade of $18.65.

Below is a long-term dividend history chart for WBA, which can be of good help in judging whether the most recent dividend with approx. 5.3% annualized yield is likely to continue.
