What this transaction means for investors
Delek Logistics has rewarded shareholders over the past 12 months, with shares climbing 25.3%. In comparison, the S&P 500 is up 20.1% during the same period. With that stock price appreciation, it would make sense for an executive to take some profits off the table. That said, we’re seeing the opposite with Soreq’s move. The executive already held more than 80,000 shares before this transaction. After purchasing 2,500 shares, he now owns 84,782 shares, indicating confidence in what may lie ahead for the company.
For shareholders, while the insider’s purchase is a bullish sign, analysts appear less confident about Delek Logistics’ near-term outlook. According to CNN, the median one-year price target from the six analysts covering the stock is $55. From today’s prices, that would represent a gain of less than 1%. The highest price target, $61, would reflect a slightly larger gain of 10.3%. The lowest price target, $36, would represent a 34.8% loss. The cautious analyst’s approach makes sense, given the stock price’s history. While shares are up 25% over the past year, the stock price is only up 26.2% over the past five years. That means this isn’t a company known for stock price appreciation.
