INSIDER SIGNAL
This is a ranking under the current European screening rules—not a probability of gain, return forecast, or buy recommendation.
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.
Where the evidence comes from
The two kinds of evidence disagree: the purchases themselves carry bull lines (large purchases), while share price and trading argue against (price down over six months). No data is held for: company actions.

Bull case · the buying is informative
- Net purchases of €9.3M equal 1.6% of the company's market value (€591.7M): large for the size of the business.
Bear case · discount it
- Share price and tradingThe share price is down 27% over six months (three months −17%, one month −8.5%) and stands 49% below its 52-week high. Insiders have bought into a fall the market has not reversed.Record (nearest stored case: price 20% or more below its prior 52-week high): after 11,051 earlier disclosures like this, the median 60-session excess return was −3.2%, within 1 percentage point of all comparable disclosures (−2.6%).
Evidence still missing
- Only one reading of profitability is held (profit margin 4.7%). Whether earnings and cash flow are rising or falling needs the last two reports side by side.
Checked and under the threshold: 5
- BearNo insider sale is recorded in the same 180 days.
- EitherThe latest purchase is 31 days old. Bull up to 14 days, bear from 90.
- BearOver three months the share price changed −17% and the median of 331 Technology companies changed −2.2%: behind by 14 points. Counted for the bear side from 20 points behind.
- BearPublished net short positions total 1.02% of the share capital across 1 named holder. Counted for the bear side from 2%.
- BearProfit margin on the latest captured figures is 4.7%. Counted for the bear side when negative.

This is a heuristic ordering under the current rules, not a calibrated return forecast. It explains why candidates rank differently; the public-filing evidence and data limits are shown below.
Why there is no buy signal
No qualifying open-market purchase disclosure is available in the current research window. This is not a sell signal.
The underlying disclosures remain available below for audit.

Insider profile outcomes
Historical performance following insider filings. The company role is translated below each name while preserving the original title.
- Excess return = stock return − BEL 20 return over the same period.
- Hit rate = completed events with positive excess return ÷ total completed events.
- Price coverage = valid point-in-time prices ÷ events mature enough for that period.
- Returns start on the first shared trading session on or after publication.
- Small-sample rule: n<5 is shown for transparency and is not scored.
Events are disclosure-level observations; related disclosures published on the same date may share a return path and may not be statistically independent. This research enrichment does not affect the insider score or ranking.
