WHY THIS SIGNAL?

Score anatomy

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

Cluster+17.4 / 35

How many distinct insiders bought in the cluster

Purchase size+23.2 / 25

Purchase value relative to company size and liquidity

Role+15.0 / 20

The seniority and relevance of participating insiders

Recency+3.5 / 10

How recently the purchases occurred

Conviction+7.4 / 10

How clearly buying stands out from other activity

What is holding the score back?

  • ⚠ Buyer breadth is moderate · fewer than 4 distinct filers
  • ⚠ Purchase activity is becoming less recent
  • ✓ Strong insider role · c-suite involved

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

BUYING PROFILE

How qualifying purchases are distributed across clustering, repetition, participation and size.

The filings do not name the buyer, so cluster buying, repeat buying and breadth cannot be told apart.

Buying concentration

The filings do not name the buyer, so who bought how much cannot be worked out.

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

One insider bought, 12 times, the latest (2 Oct). The share closed at 119.76 that day and at 121.88 most recently (+1.8%). 1 of the buyers also disclosed a sale in the window.

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.

Blue line: this share's price, −28.5% over these six months

The closing price of each day, from 170.40 on 2026-04-21 to 121.88 on 2026-10-07. 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, −0.6%

Taken from the 89 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 −28.5%, the typical one −0.6%, 27.9 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.

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.

Since 2026-10-13: no longer on the bull side: large purchases, bought in the last two weeks. 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); company results were checked and none crosses a bear threshold. No data is held for: share price and trading, short sellers, company actions.

  • The insider purchases themselvesBullsenior executive buying Bearinsiders also sold2 checked, under the threshold · 3 missing
  • Share price and tradingno data held
  • Short sellers1 missing
  • Company results1 checked, under the threshold · 1 missing
  • Company actionsno data held

Bull case · the buying is informative

  • The buyers include a senior executive, 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 8,797 earlier disclosures like this, the median 60-session excess return was −3.1%, within 1 percentage point of all comparable disclosures (−3.2%).

Bear case · discount it

  • Insiders also sold €894k in the same 180 days, 36% of the amount bought.

Evidence still missing

  • This register does not name the filer, so the 15 purchase lines may come from one person or from several. Breadth of buying cannot be judged.
  • Only one reading of profitability is held (profit margin 11%). Whether earnings and cash flow are rising or falling needs the last two reports side by side.
  • This company's market publishes no register of net short positions (it is outside the EU Short Selling Regulation), so whether professional investors are positioned against the buying cannot be read from a public source.
  • 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 15 purchase lines mentions a plan, but a bare “Purchase” 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: 3, 1 close to it
  • EitherThe latest purchase is 15 days old. Bull up to 14 days, bear from 90. close to the threshold
  • EitherNet purchases equal 0.06% of the company's market value. Bull from 0.10%, bear below 0.01%.
  • BearProfit margin on the latest captured figures is 11%. Counted for the bear side when negative.

There is not yet a 30-calendar-day comparison; earlier scores are not reconstructed. These are raw signal scores saved when each full scoring run completed. They describe changes in research ranking, not price performance or returns.

Why did it change?

Less than 30 days of comparable history is available, so factor movement is not yet decomposed.
