Terrific that soon after appointment, Mr Bell has engaged in an on-market trade, although ideally within three years it's even better if a Director has equivalent to a year's fees in shares of the entity. Very well done.
While QIP's SP has significantly fallen, with occasional exceptions, it's on low volume. The company is may be suffering from investor anxiety about uncertainty ('thanks, Mr Putin') and perhaps even whether QIP will be able to easily hawk its IP wares in nations like mainland communist China given our poor relations with that monolith. (Appeasement of bullies never works).
On top of that the close to full Oz employment situation for specialised professionals may be pushing up costs with sign-on bonuses and higher than anticipated remuneration a necessity if QIP doesn't want to come off second best compared to others similarly baying for 'talent'.
