<h3>Why Insider Activity Matters in Finance</h3>
Insider transactions shouldn't be used primarily to make an investing decision, however, they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
Within the legal framework, an "insider" is defined as any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as per Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and major hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to disclose their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
The initiation of a new purchase by a company insider serves as a strong indication that they expect the stock to rise.
However, insider sells may not always signal a bearish view and can be influenced by various factors.
<h3>Exploring Key Transaction Codes</h3>
Examining transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> often concentrate on those unfolding in the open market, meticulously detailed in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 denotes a purchase, while S signifies a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A denotes a grant, award, or other acquisition of securities from the company.

<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?utm_source=insights">According to Benzinga Pro data</a> Pro-Dex (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/PDEX#NASDAQ">PDEX</a>) posted a 18.31% decrease in earnings from Q1. Sales, however, increased by 1.76% over the previous quarter to $11.28 million. Despite the increase in sales this quarter, the decrease in earnings may suggest Pro-Dex is not utilizing their capital as effectively as possible. In Q1, Pro-Dex earned $1.08 million and total sales reached $11.09 million. 
<h3>What Is Return On Capital Employed?</h3>
Earnings data without context is not clear and can be difficult to base trading decisions on. Return on Capital Employed (ROCE) helps to filter signal from noise by measuring yearly pre-tax profit relative to capital employed by a business. Generally, a higher ROCE suggests successful growth of a company and is a sign of higher earnings per share in the future. In Q2, Pro-Dex posted an ROCE of 0.04%.
It is important to keep in mind that ROCE evaluates past performance and is not used as a predictive tool. It is a good measure of a company's recent performance, but does not account for factors that could affect earnings and sales in the near future. 
ROCE is a powerful metric for comparing the effectiveness of capital allocation for similar companies. A relatively high ROCE shows Pro-Dex is potentially operating at a higher level of efficiency than other companies in its industry. If the company is generating high profits with its current level of capital, some of that money can be reinvested in more capital which will generally lead to higher returns and, ultimately, earnings per share (EPS) growth. 
For Pro-Dex, the positive return on capital employed ratio of 0.04% suggests that management is allocating their capital effectively. Effective capital allocation is a positive indicator that a company will achieve more durable success and favorable long-term returns.
<h3>Analyst Predictions</h3>
Pro-Dex reported Q2 earnings per share at $0.24/share, which did not meet analyst predictions of $0.29/share.

Micro-cap stocks carry high risk but can potentially deliver high returns. Given this backdrop, it could be wise to buy under-the-radar micro-cap stocks LifeVantage (LFVN), Pro-Dex (PDEX), and Lee Enterprises (LEE), which have high growth potential. Keep reading… Micro-cap stocks have the potential for rapid growth, particularly if they belong to high-growth industries or possess disruptive business models.

These stocks emphasize long-term growth and operate with high efficiency, concentrating on expanding their businesses. Therefore, when chosen wisely, micro-caps can be highly beneficial for investors.
Moreover, micro-cap stocks can offer substantial returns, but high-quality ones often go unnoticed due to the limited media coverage they receive compared to large companies. Despite this, they have a history of outperformance. A <a href="https://www.boston-partners.com/uploads/2021/05/35500a7549a9e095691c5f66819b4d87/wpg-microcap-vs-pe-white-paper.pdf">Boston Partners report</a> shows that from early 1995 to June 2020, the CRSP Equal Weighted Microcap Index grew by 740%, surpassing the S&amp;P 500's 255% returns.
