With all of the chaos in the markets, insiders are buying stock.
And if they’re buying, you may want to pay close attention. After all, if an insider is putting their money where their mouth is, there’s usually a reason for it.
Here are just a few of the top stocks seeing substantial insider buying.
Nike (NKE)
In early April, director Robert Swan Holmes picked up $502,756 shares of the beaten-down athletic footwear stock at an average price of $58.46 a share.
Plus, Jefferies upgraded Nike to a buy rating with a $115 price target just a few weeks ago.
The firm says Nike’s stock price is near a “valuation trough.” They added, “As Nike turns back on its innovation engine, channel inventories will be rebalanced and wholesale distro will be increased setting the stage for accelerating unit volumes and healthier full-price sell through driving stronger revenue growth and rising margins against a backdrop of reduced Street expectations (that are now way too low).”
Currently consolidating at $55.76, we’d like to see NKE initially refill its bearish gap at around $65 a share. Eventually, as tariff fears subside, we’d like to see it closer to $80.
Dollar Tree (DLTR)
Company CFO Stewart Glendiining just picked up 17,000 shares of Dollar Tree for about $1.24 million. He paid an average of $72.83 per share.
That alone shows significant confidence in the oversold stock.
Citi analysts piled in with a buy rating, calling Dollar Tree a “dark horse winner in the new tariff world.” They added, “While Dollar Tree was previously trying to manage China tariffs within its current pricing architecture, this higher tariff regime gives them further cover to expand price points from $1.25 to $1.50 – $1.75,” as quoted by Seeking Alpha.
