Recently the target of insider buyingCASI Pharmaceuticals Inc. (NASDAQ:CASI) has also been targeted by Sparkle Byte as per a 13D filing from the firm, which discloses a 13.6% activist stake in the company. At Insider Monkey, we closely monitor the moves made by activist investors. Their targets are often undervalued stocks with firm foundations that for one reason or another have failed to execute. At times, all it takes is a fresh outlook and a slight tweak to completely alter the makeup and efficiency of a company, and activists can provide this. They also shine a spotlight on shareholder value creation, which can be neglected by entrenched management who often have their priorities elsewhere. Take a look at the details of the latest filing below.
