All the above transactions are from Non-Executive Directors except for APA Group.

APA's CEO Adam Watson purchased 10,000 shares last week, he beneficially owns approximately 147,000 shares. APA Group is a prominent Australian energy infrastructure company, primarily engaged in the ownership and operation of natural gas and electricity assets. The stock is trading around five-year lows and down 22% year-to-date amid high debt levels, environmental concerns and industry challenges. Earlier this month, Macquarie analysts reiterated an Outperform rating and $8.13 target price, citing "APA is on a yield of 8.3%, with management emphasis on at least maintaining the yield. Its FY1 EV/EBITDA of ~10.8x is well below the historical range of 11.8-13.3x and now global peers. Organic growth remains appealing."

Three notable Board members have recently executed significant on-market selldowns.

  • Siteminder: Non-Executive Director Paul Wilson (also Executive Director at Baliador Technology Investments, a major shareholder) executed his first-ever sale of company shares, divesting approximately 18% of his overall shareholding.

  • Hub24: CEO Andrew Alcock continued his historical pattern of post-reporting season trades, with his first on-market sale since August 2023, when he sold $7.8 million worth of shares at $31.5 each. His trades typically occur around August reporting season and November.

  • AUB Group: While CEO Michael Emmett's sale of $251,712 represents just 1.8% of his holdings, it marks his first on-market selldown at the insurance broking company, which has performed strongly with a 15% year-to-date gain.
