Insider buying declined last week with insiders buying $109.95 million of stock compared to $118.14 million in the week prior. Selling also decreased with insiders selling $999.89 million of stock last week compared to $2.25 billion in the week prior.

Sell/Buy Ratio: The insider Sell/Buy ratio is calculated by dividing the total insider sales in a given week by total insider purchases that week. The adjusted ratio for last week dropped down to 9.09. In other words, insiders sold more than 9 times as much stock as they purchased.The Sell/Buy ratio this week compares favorably with the prior week, when the ratio stood at 19.07.

We are calculating an adjusted ratio by removing transactions by funds and companies and trying as best as possible only to retain information about insiders and 10% owners who are not funds or companies.

Note: As mentioned in the first post in this series, certain industries have their preferred metrics such as same store sales for retailers, funds from operations (FFO) for REITs and revenue per available room (RevPAR) for hotels that provide a better basis for comparison than simple valuation metrics. However metrics like Price/Earnings, Price/Sales and Enterprise Value/EBITDA included below should provide a good starting point for analyzing the majority of stocks.

Notable Insider Buys:

1. Sears Holdings Corporation (SHLD): $25.18

Shares of this department stores chain were acquired by 2 insiders:

  • Chief Executive Officer Edward S. Lampert acquired 277,252 shares, paying $22.89 per share for a total amount of $6.35 million. Mr. Lampert increased his stake by 0.98% to 28,660,723 shares with this purchase.
  • 10% Owner Bruce R. Berkowitz acquired 9,100 shares, paying $25.25 per share for a total amount of $229,775. According to the footnotes of this filing, these shares were acquired in a private fund managed indirectly by Mr. Berkowitz

This is the second week in a row that Sears made it into our top 5 insider purchases list.

Shares of this insurance company were acquired by 5 insiders:

3. Apple Hospitality REIT, Inc. (APLE): $17.97

Shares of this hotel REIT were acquired by 6 insiders:

  • Executive Chairman Glade M. Knight acquired 60,000 shares, paying $18.13 per share for a total amount of $1.09 million. Mr. Knight increased his stake by 0.74% to 8,186,708 shares with this purchase.
  • President and CEO Justin G. Knight acquired 30,000 shares, paying $18.11 per share for a total amount of $543,153. These shares were purchased indirectly J A M N Ltd. Partnership LLC.
  • Director Redd Hugh acquired 10,000 shares, paying $18.09 per share for a total amount of $180,882.
  • Executive Vice President & CFO Bryan Peery acquired 7,711 shares, paying $18.05 per share for a total amount of $139,184. Mr. Peery increased his stake by 8.83% to 95,000 shares with this purchase.
  • Director Daryl Arthur Nickel acquired 5,500 shares, paying $17.88 per share for a total amount of $98,339.
  • Director Bruce H. Matson acquired 1,500 shares, paying $17.74 per share for a total amount of $26,614.

This is an interesting REIT that went public less than 3 months ago in what could arguably be called one of the best operating environments for hotels. Both RevPAR and occupancy rates, the two key metrics for hotels, are near record levels as I recently experienced during a trip to Seattle.

The company owns a portfolio of 176 hotels spread across the Hilton and Marriott families of brands. The REIT has a dividend yield of 6.7% with dividends paid out monthly. This is well above the average yield of lodging REITs, which was 3.8% as of June 30, 2015.
