WHY THIS SIGNAL?

Score anatomy

Each bar shows the contribution to the current score; the weights and formula stay unchanged.

Cluster+21.0 / 35

How many distinct insiders bought in the cluster

Purchase size+15.7 / 25

Purchase value relative to company size and liquidity

Role+20.0 / 20

The seniority and relevance of participating insiders

Recency+9.3 / 10

How recently the purchases occurred

Conviction+5.2 / 10

How clearly buying stands out from other activity

What is holding the score back?

  • ⚠ Buyer breadth is moderate · fewer than 4 distinct filers
  • ⚠ Buying conviction is reduced by concurrent selling
  • ✓ Strong insider role · ceo/chair involved
  • ✓ Recent activity · latest purchase 2026-10-22

The role contribution uses the inverted role input of the current European model.

The headline € total is net buying for the screen; this module uses gross qualified purchase transaction-line values in the filing currency, so the amounts can differ. The current 15-day buyer-breadth input counts distinct buyers; value concentration is disclosed separately here.

This is a ranking under the current European screening rules—not a probability of gain, return forecast, or buy recommendation.

Markers sit on the closing price of the transaction day. They show when insiders traded, not the price they paid or received. "Since" compares that day's close with the last close shown; it is what happened at this company, not a forecast.

Insider timeline

2 insiders bought within 7 days, 19 Aug to 25 Aug: 1 CEO / chair, 1 Executive. 1 more bought afterwards. The share closed at 162.00 on the first of those days and at 168.50 most recently (+4.0%). That week 197 companies across Europe disclosed insider purchases, an ordinary week (9 of the last 26).

Tap an item for what it means.

●A purchase: the bigger the dot, the more was bought

Each dot is one insider's purchases on one day. The dot's area follows the amount: the largest purchase here gets the largest dot. Hold the pointer over a dot to see the date and the amount.

×A sale

A cross is one insider's sales on one day. People sell to pay tax, to cash in share awards or to hold less of one company, so a sale says less than a purchase does. When someone bought and sold on the same day, the cross sits beside the dot. The totals are under “Purchases against sales” below.

▮Purple band: several insiders bought within 15 days

The band marks the stretch with the most different buyers: at most 15 days long and at least two people. Here it is 19 Aug – 25 Aug, with 2 insiders. Only the strongest stretch is marked. Several people deciding the same thing is harder to explain by one person's private reasons, but insiders often buy together just after a closed period ends, so compare it with the grey weekly bars.

Blue line: this share's price, −7.6% over these six months

The closing price of each day, from 182.40 on 2026-04-27 to 168.50 on 2026-10-22. The line has no scale; read it for high and low: a dot on a low stretch was bought cheaply, a dot on a high stretch was not.

Dashed line: the typical stock on the same exchange, −6.6%

Taken from the 102 other stocks on the same exchange that this site holds prices for. Each is measured from the first day of the window, and every day the middle one is drawn. It starts where the blue line starts, so the gap between the two is the difference: this share −7.6%, the typical one −6.6%, 1.1 points behind. It is not an index and not a comparison within one industry.

▂Grey bars: companies across Europe disclosing purchases each week

A taller bar is a week in which more companies disclosed insider purchases. The purple bar is the week of the band above: 197 companies, number 9 of the last 26 weeks. If that week was a peak anyway, buying together is less special than it looks.

BULL VS BEAR

Two readings of this buying

The same filings, read two ways. Each line is a fact stored for this company with the number behind it, and appears only when that number crosses a fixed threshold. Neither side is a forecast and no winner is declared.

All bull and bear lists, and what followed each line in the past →

Where the evidence comes from

Independent evidence does not object: the purchases themselves carry bull lines (senior executive buying, bought in the last two weeks); share price and trading, short sellers, company results were checked and none crosses a bear threshold. No data is held for: company actions.

  • The insider purchases themselvesBullsenior executive buying, bought in the last two weeks Bearinsiders also sold, small purchases4 checked, under the threshold · 4 missing
  • Share price and trading3 checked, under the threshold
  • Short sellers1 checked, under the threshold
  • Company results1 checked, under the threshold · 1 missing
  • Company actionsno data held

Bull case · the buying is informative

  • The buyers include the CEO or chair, who sees more of the business than most filers. This site's score gives little or no credit for that: in its backtests purchases by senior executives did no better than other insiders' purchases.Record: after 8,738 earlier disclosures like this, the median 60-session excess return was −3.1%, within 1 percentage point of all comparable disclosures (−3.2%).
  • The latest purchase is 1 day old (2026-10-22). The buying is current, not left over from an earlier quarter.

Bear case · discount it

  • Insiders also sold €195k in the same 180 days, 93% of the amount bought.
  • Net purchases of €16k are <0.01% of the company's market value (€3.2bn): a visible sum, a small one against the business.

Evidence still missing

  • The latest purchase (2026-10-22) falls within 30 days before the next scheduled results (2026-10-22), normally a closed period. Either the dealing was cleared as an exception or the results date is wrong; the filing and the financial calendar show which.
  • No buyer here has 5 or more completed earlier purchases on record, so there is no track record to weigh.
  • Only one reading of profitability is held (profit margin 4.2%). Whether earnings and cash flow are rising or falling needs the last two reports side by side.
  • European notifications have no field saying whether a purchase was pre-arranged; there is no counterpart to the US 10b5-1 box. None of the 6 purchase lines mentions a plan, but a bare “Kjøp” does not rule one out.
  • The filings give the size of each trade, not what the buyer already held. Whether a purchase added 1% to a personal stake or doubled it is not known.
Checked and under the threshold: 9, 1 close to it
  • BullAt most 2 insiders bought within any 15 days. Counted for the bull side from 3. close to the threshold
  • Either4 insiders bought in the last 180 days and 3 in the 180 days before. Bull when the number at least doubles and rises by two; bear when at least two bought before and no more buy now.
  • BearThe largest buyer accounts for 41% of the value bought. Counted for the bear side from 80%.
  • Bear0 of 4 buyers filed as a person closely associated with a manager. Counted for the bear side from half.
  • BearThe share price changed −10% over six months (three months +4.5%, one month −9.7%) and stands 20% below its 52-week high. Counted for the bear side from a fall of 20%.
  • BearOver three months the share price changed +4.5% and the median of 355 Technology companies changed −1.9%: ahead by 6 points. Counted for the bear side from 20 points behind.
  • BearThe register of Finanstilsynet shows no published net short position in this company. Positions under 0.5% are never published, so this does not show that nobody is short.
  • BearProfit margin on the latest captured figures is 4.2%. Counted for the bear side when negative.
  • BearAbout €13.2M of the stock changes hands on an average day. Counted for the bear side below €500k.

Disclosed net short positions

The Finanstilsynet register, read 23 Oct 2026, publishes no net short position of 0.5% or more in this issuer. Positions below 0.5% are never published, so this is not evidence that nobody is short.

Short-position disclosures are external context; they do not affect the insider score, ranking, or filing eligibility.
