This provider of data center hosting services has been caught up the recent tech sell-off, and its shares are now roughly 30% below levels seen last summer.  The downward move has brought out insider support: Director Kevin Dotts bought 10,000 shares last month at $7.73, and more recently, director Debora Wilson has bought the same amount (at $6.79 a share).

Though shares have slumped, business trends are solid. First-quarter sales rose 11% sequentially and 18% from the first quarter of 2013, thanks in part to an expansion of Internap’s business model: “The (first-quarter) report supports our thesis that Internap is in the midst of a fundamental corporate transformation from an Internet service provider (ISP) to a cloud computing and data center service provider,” note analysts at D.A. Davidson who rate shares a “buy” with a $9 price target.

This provider of beauty supplies said last week that Chris Brickman, a top executive at Kimberly-Clark (NYSE: KMB), would be taking the company reins, replacing a retiring executive. Brickman inherits a company that has posted a steady annual expansion in operating profit margins, which doubled from 7.5% in 2006 to 14.4% in 2013. In support of the solid financials, the company announced a $700 million share buyback plan last month.

As a show of support for the stock, which has lagged behind the S&P by 30 percentage points over the past year, Brickman has just bought 20,000 shares at around $25 apiece. He presumably was rewarded with stock options as well, and taken together, now has ample skin in the game.

This real estate investment trust (REIT), which focuses on residential mortgage related assets, priced its IPO at $7 a share a year ago, and now trades for around 10% less.

The REIT has produced an $0.18 a share quarterly dividend in each of the past two quarters, or $0.72 a share on an annualized basis. If that can be maintained, then investors are looking at an 11.5% dividend yield.

In response to the post-IPO slump (and that juicy dividend), CEO Michael Nierenberg recently bought 1 million shares (as part of a rights offering priced at $6.10 a share). Look for Nierenberg and his management team to provide a fresh view on the dividend plans when quarterly results are released May 14.

This maker of industrial fibers is still waiting for an economic expansion to boost sales. They’ve barely grown in recent years, and remain below the $800 million annual sales base the company had a decade ago. But management is doing a fine job of squeezing out profits, even if the top line remains constrained. In the first nine months of fiscal (June) 2014, net income tripled from the previous year, to $20 million.

Still, investors have grown impatient waiting for sales growth to resume and have pushed this stock down 20% since the year began. In response, Unifi has just embarked on a second consecutive $50 million buyback plan. And the actions by director Ken Langone (who co-founded Home Depot (NYSE: HD)) is equally impressive: Since the year began, he has bought 53,000 shares at an average price of around $23.

Three different insiders at this business development company (BDC) have been aggressively buying shares for nearly a year, culminating with $650,000 in stocks purchases in April. Investors in BDCs seek out high yields, but MVC’s 3.9% yield isn’t especially impressive.

Perhaps insiders are lured in by the fact that this stock trades well below net asset value (NAV) of $17.36 a share. Notably, management has been shifting the portfolio toward income-producing assets (meaning more loans and less stock), and the base of assets should start to create better yields in the years ahead. Still, acquiring shares at a 25% discount to NAV is a no-brainer — at least according to these insiders.
