WPC--
Whilst it may not be a huge deal, we thought it was good to see that the
W. P. Carey Inc. (
NYSE:WPC) Independent Director, Robert Flanagan, recently bought US$82k worth of stock, for
US$82.29 per share.
While we’re hesitant to get too excited about a purchase of that size, we do note it increased their holding by a solid 27%.
Over the last year, we can see that the biggest insider purchase was by Independent Director Mark Alexander for US$185k worth of shares, at about US$80.50 per share. So it’s clear an insider wanted to buy, at around the current price, which is US$83.50. <---
Ok so just before the world fell apart these cats were buying their own stock at $80!
Alright.. further digging:::
Opinion of my money manager)
WPC dividend is fine. Company is about 50% warehouse and industrial. Office proving relatively resistant. The triple net lease business in general is not good, but WPC is fine. Rock solid balance sheet.
There was a filing in mid-April. WPC has all of these private subs which are both insiders and outsiders. These did file to purchase shares.
