Key points

  • The Codan share price is leaping higher on Tuesday amid news a company insider has been buying up shares
  • Codan director Kathy Gramp indirectly bought nearly $48,500 worth of the stock on Friday
  • At that point in time, the stock had tumbled 60% year to date

The luck of embattled All Ordinaries Index (ASX: XAO) share Codan Limited (ASX: CDA) appears to have taken a turn on Tuesday, with the stock posting one of its best days of the last 12 months.

The Codan share price is up 5.17% right now, trading at $4.07. The gain comes after it tumbled a whopping 59.6% over the first 10 months of 2022.

Meanwhile, the All Ords is lifting 1.06% following word the Reserve Bank of Australia has hiked interest rates by another 0.25% in November.

Codan develops electronics solutions – such as metal detectors and communication equipment – for governments, corporations, and consumers.

But what might be bolstering the All Ords share on Tuesday? Well, an insider has been indirectly buying Codan shares on the market, spending nearly $48,500 to do so.

Let's take a closer look at the insider increasing their stake in the All Ords tech share.

Insider snaps up shares in All Ords tech company

The Codan share price is racing higher today amid an ASX release detailing an insider's purchase of the company's stock.

Director Kathy Gramp has bolstered her hold in the company, indirectly buying an extra 12,500 shares for close to $3.88 apiece. She now holds 28,000 shares in the All Ords tech favourite.  

The trade was made on Friday. That same day the stock closed at its equal-second lowest point since 2019 – $3.87.

The Codan share price has tumbled through 2022 despite posting strong earnings in August. Though, it was hampered by supply chain issues and long-lead times of components earlier this year.

Its suffering also came amid a broader tech sell-off. The S&P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index (ASX: XIJ) has fallen 33% so far this year while the S&P/All Technology Index (ASX: XTX) has plunged 31%.

Sadly, the company was dumped from the S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) earlier this year. Fortunately, however, its shares continue to live on the All Ords Index.
