There's an old saying on Wall Street about insider buying: there are many possible reasons to sell a stock, but only one reason to buy. Back on March 3, DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc's Director, Gregory T. Lucier, invested $249,994.42 into 15,142 shares of XRAY, for a cost per share of $16.51. Bargain hunters tend to pay particular attention to insider buys like this one, because presumably the only reason an insider would take their hard-earned cash and use it to buy stock of their company in the open market, is that they expect to make money. In trading on Thursday, bargain hunters could buy shares of DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc (Symbol: XRAY) and achieve a cost basis 4.7% cheaper than Lucier, with shares changing hands as low as $15.74 per share. It should be noted that Lucier has collected $0.16/share in dividends since the time of their purchase, so they are currently down 3.7% on their purchase from a total return basis. DENTSPLY SIRONA Inc shares are currently trading off about 0.7% on the day. The chart below shows the one year performance of XRAY shares, versus its 200 day moving average:
