  • Independent Non-Executive Director of Bridgepoint Group Picks Up 100% More Stock

    Independent Non-Executive Director of Bridgepoint Group Picks Up 100% More Stock

    Investors who take an interest in Bridgepoint Group plc (LON:BPT) should definitely note that the Independent Non-Executive Director, Cyrus Russi Taraporevala, recently paid UK£2.84 per share to buy UK£284k worth of the stock. That certainly has us anticipating the best, especially since they thusly increased their own holding by 100%, potentially signalling some real optimism.

    AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part – they are all under $10bn in marketcap – there is still time to get in early.

    Notably, that recent purchase by Cyrus Russi Taraporevala is the biggest insider purchase of Bridgepoint Group shares that we’ve seen in the last year. That means that an insider was happy to buy shares at above the current price of UK£2.72. Their view may have changed since then, but at least it shows they felt optimistic at the time. To us, it’s very important to consider the price insiders pay for shares. Generally speaking, it catches our eye when an insider has purchased shares at above current prices, as it suggests they believed the shares were worth buying, even at a higher price. The only individual insider to buy over the last year was Cyrus Russi Taraporevala.

    The chart below shows insider transactions (by companies and individuals) over the last year. If you click on the chart, you can see all the individual transactions, including the share price, individual, and the date!

    LSE:BPT Insider Trading Volume November 23rd 2025

    Bridgepoint Group is not the only stock insiders are buying. So take a peek at this free list of under-the-radar companies with insider buying.

    Another way to test the alignment between the leaders of a company and other shareholders is to look at how many shares they own. Usually, the higher the insider ownership, the more likely it is that insiders will be incentivised to build the company for the long term. Based on our data, Bridgepoint Group insiders have about 0.1% of the stock, worth approximately UK£2.3m. We do note, however, it is possible insiders have an indirect interest through a private company or other corporate structure. We prefer to see high levels of insider ownership.

    It is good to see the recent insider purchase. And the longer term insider transactions also give us confidence. While the overall levels of insider ownership are below what we’d like to see, the history of transactions imply that Bridgepoint Group insiders are reasonably well aligned, and optimistic for the future. So these insider transactions can help us build a thesis about the stock, but it’s also worthwhile knowing the risks facing this company. Our analysis shows 3 warning signs for Bridgepoint Group (1 is significant!) and we strongly recommend you look at these before investing.

    But note: Bridgepoint Group may not be the best stock to buy. So take a peek at this free list of interesting companies with high ROE and low debt.

  • Exploring Valuation as Shares Edge Up Despite Sector Uncertainty

    Exploring Valuation as Shares Edge Up Despite Sector Uncertainty

    Oceaneering International (OII) has caught some attention lately as its stock edged higher, gaining about 3% in the latest session. This uptick comes even as the broader energy sector presented mixed signals for investors.

    See our latest analysis for Oceaneering International.

    Oceaneering International’s recent share price gain builds on a gradually improving short-term trend, but momentum is still muted compared to last year’s performance. While the stock is up 3.29% in the last session, the one-year total shareholder return sits at -19.58%. This reminds investors of some lingering caution, even after impressive multi-year gains.

    If you’re keeping an eye on shifts in energy sector momentum, now is the perfect chance to broaden your search and discover fast growing stocks with high insider ownership

    With shares staging a modest rebound, the question now is whether Oceaneering International remains undervalued with more upside ahead, or if investors have already factored in future growth prospects at current levels.

    At $24.15 per share, Oceaneering International trades just above the consensus narrative fair value of $22.38, suggesting that the market anticipates robust operational progress and stable growth prospects.

    The company’s high dependency on cyclical offshore oil and gas spending, evident in bookings and utilization guidance, makes its revenues and earnings vulnerable to potential sharp downturns if energy prices fall or if capital expenditure plans of major clients decline, as indicated by flat book-to-bill ratios and conservative utilization outlooks.

    Read the complete narrative.

    What hidden numbers are driving analyst models this time? The narrative is based on detailed assumptions about future revenue streams, margin pressures, and strategic pivots that could change profits more rapidly than many anticipate.

    Result: Fair Value of $22.38 (OVERVALUED)

    Have a read of the narrative in full and understand what’s behind the forecasts.

    However, continued growth in aerospace and defense contracts, or persistent strength in high-margin robotics, could boost earnings beyond current expectations.

    Find out about the key risks to this Oceaneering International narrative.

    While the market sees Oceaneering International as slightly overvalued based on analyst price targets, our DCF model presents a very different story. The SWS DCF model estimates fair value at $51.12, which is more than double the current share price. This suggests considerable undervaluation. Could analysts be overlooking hidden future cash flows?

    Look into how the SWS DCF model arrives at its fair value.
