WHY THIS SIGNAL?

Score anatomy

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

Cluster+35.0 / 35

How many distinct insiders bought in the cluster

Purchase size+22.9 / 25

Purchase value relative to company size and liquidity

Role+13.0 / 20

The seniority and relevance of participating insiders

Recency+1.3 / 10

How recently the purchases occurred

Conviction+10.0 / 10

How clearly buying stands out from other activity

What is holding the score back?

  • ⚠ Insider role contributes less on the current role scale
  • ⚠ Purchase activity is becoming less recent
  • ✓ Broad buyer cluster · 4+ distinct filers

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

6 insiders bought within 7 days, 12 May to 18 May: 6 Management board. 6 of them bought again later. The share closed at 56.15 on the first of those days and at 69.80 most recently (+24.3%). That week 211 companies across Europe disclosed insider purchases, an ordinary week (6 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. None of this company's filings in the window states an amount, so every dot is the same size.

▮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 12 May – 18 May, with 6 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, +14.0% over these six months

The closing price of each day, from 61.25 on 2026-04-21 to 69.80 on 2026-10-14. 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 +14.0%, the typical one −7.2%, 21.2 points ahead. 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: 211 companies, number 6 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.

Since 2026-10-13, neither column has changed. 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 (several insiders together, more buyers than usual here, large purchases); share price and trading, short sellers, company results were checked and none crosses a bear threshold. No data is held for: company actions.

Bull case · the buying is informative

  • 6 insiders bought within 15 days (2026-05-12 to 2026-05-18). Several people reaching the same decision at the same time is hard to put down to one person's circumstances.Record: after 5,401 earlier disclosures like this, the median 60-session excess return was −3.3%, within 1 percentage point of all comparable disclosures (−3.3%).
  • 6 insiders bought in the last 180 days against 2 in the 180 days before: more than this company's own recent norm.Record: after 3,134 earlier disclosures like this, the median 60-session excess return was −2.7%, within 1 percentage point of all comparable disclosures (−2.7%).
  • Insider purchases in the last 20 sessions equal 34% of everything traded in the stock over those sessions.

Bear case · discount it

  • Share price and tradingAbout €29k 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.
  • Only one reading of profitability is held (profit margin 7.7%). 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 14 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: 7
  • BearThe largest buyer accounts for 53% of the value bought. Counted for the bear side from 80%.
  • BearNo insider sale is recorded in the same 180 days.
  • EitherThe latest purchase is 29 days old. Bull up to 14 days, bear from 90.
  • BearThe share price changed +12% over six months (three months +16%, one month +8.7%). Counted for the bear side from a fall of 20%.
  • BearOver three months the share price changed +16% and the median of 462 Industrials companies changed −0.32%: ahead by 17 points. Counted for the bear side from 20 points behind.
  • BearPublished net short positions total 0.51% of the share capital across 1 named holder. Counted for the bear side from 2%.
  • BearProfit margin on the latest captured figures is 7.7%. Counted for the bear side when negative.
