What signal do you get?

The purchase of shares by the promoters is considered as one of the best signals of value in the company. This is because the promoter has the best knowledge about the prospectus of the company. And he knows when the company is overvalued or undervalued.

According to experts, due to market fluctuations, the connection between the stock price and the fundamentals of the company can be lost. In general, it is normal for investors to take advantage of such opportunities. Experts say that promoter investors have a longer investment horizon than this and have better business acumen in comparison.
