WHY THIS SIGNAL?

Score anatomy

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

Cluster+10.5 / 35

How many distinct insiders bought in the cluster

Purchase size+18.7 / 25

Purchase value relative to company size and liquidity

Role+13.0 / 20

The seniority and relevance of participating insiders

Recency+8.7 / 10

How recently the purchases occurred

Conviction+10.0 / 10

How clearly buying stands out from other activity

What is holding the score back?

  • ⚠ Buyer breadth is moderate · fewer than 4 distinct filers
  • ⚠ Insider role contributes less on the current role scale
  • ✓ Recent activity · latest purchase 2026-10-15

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

Largest buyer:Karl Schäcke · 105k EUR
Gross qualified purchase transaction-line value:105k EUR

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.

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. None of this company's filings in the window states an amount, so every dot is the same size.

Blue line: this share's price, +8.4% over these six months

The closing price of each day, from 48.90 on 2026-04-21 to 53.00 on 2026-10-16. 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, −7.2%

Taken from the 37 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 +8.4%, the typical one −7.2%, 15.6 points ahead. It is not an index and not a comparison within one industry.

▂Grey bars: companies across Europe disclosing purchases each week

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 (large purchases, bought in the last two weeks); share price and trading, short sellers were checked and none crosses a bear threshold. No data is held for: company results, company actions.

  • The insider purchases themselvesBulllarge purchases, bought in the last two weeks Bearone buyer only, usual level for this company1 checked, under the threshold · 3 missing
  • Share price and tradingBearthinly traded2 checked, under the threshold
  • Short sellers1 checked, under the threshold
  • Company results2 missing
  • Company actionsno data held

Bull case · the buying is informative

  • Insider purchases in the last 20 sessions equal 39% of everything traded in the stock over those sessions.
  • The latest purchase is 2 days old (2026-10-15). The buying is current, not left over from an earlier quarter.

Bear case · discount it

  • Only one insider bought. A single purchase can reflect that person's own finances rather than a view on the company.Record: after 4,732 earlier disclosures like this, the median 60-session excess return was −2.7%, within 1 percentage point of all comparable disclosures (−3.3%).
  • Buying at this level is normal here: 7 insiders bought in the previous 180 days and 1 in this one.Record: after 2,869 earlier disclosures like this, the median 60-session excess return was −2.6%, within 1 percentage point of all comparable disclosures (−2.7%).
  • Share price and tradingAbout €13k of the stock changes hands on an average day, below this site's €500k screening line. A position is hard to enter or leave at the quoted price.

Evidence still missing

  • No buyer here has 5 or more completed earlier purchases on record, so there is no track record to weigh.
  • The company's market value is not captured, so the purchases cannot be stated as a share of the business.
  • No earnings, margin or cash-flow figures are captured for this company. The latest annual and interim reports are where to check whether the business is improving or deteriorating.
  • 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 2 purchase lines mentions a plan, but a bare “Kauf” 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: 4
  • BearNo insider sale is recorded in the same 180 days.
  • BearThe share price changed +10% over six months (three months −9.9%, one month −13%) and stands 34% below its 52-week high. Counted for the bear side from a fall of 20%.
  • BearOver three months the share price changed −9.9% and the median of 462 Industrials companies changed −0.32%: behind by 10 points. Counted for the bear side from 20 points behind.
  • BearThe register of Bundesanzeiger 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.

Both columns arrange stored facts only. They do not change the insider score or the ranking and are not investment advice.

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.

Insider profile outcomes

Historical performance following insider filings. The company role is translated below each name while preserving the original title.

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.

Prices to 18 Oct 2026: OpenBB/yfinance; volume from price cache (yfinance). From the company's annual report ↗, fiscal year ended 31 Dec 2025: Market cap, P/E, Profit margin, ROE. Market cap is the share count implied by the report's profit and earnings per share (the year's average), multiplied by the latest close; shares issued or bought back since are not counted. It does not affect the insider score or rank.

Disclosed net short positions

The Bundesanzeiger register, read 18 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.

Insiders' buying price vs the latest close

Insiders paid 52.40 EUR a share on average (2 purchase lines, 1 buyer, 2026-10-15 – 2026-10-15). The close on 2026-10-16 was 1.1% above that price.

Prices paid are weighted by shares and taken from the filings; dividends are not counted. Not scored. 7 more purchase lines could not be compared with the share price and are left out.
