Foolish take
Chief Executive Officer Peter Anevski's purchase of Progyny stock is undoubtedly a noteworthy event for investors.
Anevski purchased the shares using his own cash to offset tax withholding obligations, so in this sense, they believe that the shares are a value at today's price. If not, Anevski could have just let the company withhold shares to cover their withholding tax.
So while this wasn't a "pure bet" on Progyny stock, it is a nuanced buy signal from the leader of the industry-leading fertility benefits company.
Following a quarter where Progyny reported 9% sales growth, continued to see its cash flows balloon, and saw near-100% customer retention, I'd argue it's pretty clear why Anevski was happy to buy shares with his own money.
From a longer-term Foolish perspective, there's a lot to like about the fertility benefits specialist as global fertility rates unfortunately continue to decline, making the upstart company's products a clear benefit to society.
Still trading at just 12 times free cash flow and 14 times forward earnings, Progyny looks discounted and remains one of my favorite stocks to buy, especially with some of the best Net Promoter Scores in the healthcare industry.
