WHY THIS SIGNAL?
Score anatomy
Each bar shows the contribution to the current score; the weights and formula stay unchanged.
Cluster+29.8 / 35
How many distinct insiders bought in the cluster
Purchase size+18.9 / 25
Purchase value relative to company size and liquidity
Role+13.0 / 20
The seniority and relevance of participating insiders
Recency+1.2 / 10
How recently the purchases occurred
Conviction+9.5 / 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.
Buying concentration
61%
Largest buyer：Michael Drolshagen · 77k EUR
Gross qualified purchase transaction-line value：127k 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.

Daily close (EUR)Day with an insider purchaseDay with an insider sale
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.
If you had followed the purchase
Each row starts on the first close on or after the day a purchase was made public, the earliest a reader could have acted, and ends on the last close shown above.
| Made public | Insiders | In this stock, now | In the median peer stock, now | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|

0 of 5 disclosure day(s) ended ahead of the median peer stock.
Close to close, before costs, taxes, dividends and currency moves. The peer is the median of the other stocks on the same exchange for which this site holds prices (29 here), not an index. This is what happened, not a forecast: across all purchases on this site the typical gap is close to zero.
Insider timeline
3 insiders bought within 14 days, 4 Sep to 17 Sep: 2 Management board, 1 Supervisory board. The share closed at 39.50 on the first of those days and at 32.70 most recently (−17.2%). That week 188 companies across Europe disclosed insider purchases, an ordinary week (11 of the last 26). 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. None of this company's filings in the window states an amount, so every dot is the same size.
×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 4 Sep – 17 Sep, with 3 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, −27.8% over these six months
The closing price of each day, from 45.30 on 2026-04-21 to 32.70 on 2026-10-09. 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, −5.8%
Taken from the 88 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 −27.8%, the typical one −5.8%, 22.0 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: 188 companies, number 11 of the last 26 weeks. If that week was a peak anyway, buying together is less special than it looks.

Sales14%1 line(s) · 1 insider(s)
Shares of the NUMBER of transactions in the 180-day window: a reported value is missing for 7 line(s), or the lines are in more than one currency, so values cannot be added up. Sales include disposals for tax, at option exercise or under a pre-set plan, which say little about an insider's view. The split describes what was disclosed; it is not a signal.

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 bear side: thinly traded. All bull and bear lists, and what followed each line in the past →
Where the evidence comes from
The two kinds of evidence disagree: the purchases themselves carry bull lines (several insiders together, more buyers than usual here), 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
- 3 insiders bought within 15 days (2026-09-03 to 2026-09-17). 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%).
- No insider bought in the 180 days before this window; 3 have bought in it. The buying is new for this company, not a habit.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%).
Bear case · discount it
- Share price and tradingThe share price is down 29% over six months (three months −14%, one month −13%) and stands 36% 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 11,077 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
- 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 6.0%). Whether earnings and cash flow are rising or falling needs the last two reports side by side.
- The next scheduled results are on 2026-11-03. They are the first hard test of either reading.
- 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 “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, 1 close to it
- BearThe largest buyer accounts for 61% of the value bought. Counted for the bear side from 80%. close to the threshold
- EitherNet purchases equal 0.03% of the company's market value. Bull from 0.10%, bear below 0.01%.
- BearInsiders sold €6,352 in the same 180 days, 5.0% of the amount bought. Counted for the bear side from 25%.
- EitherThe latest purchase is 30 days old. Bull up to 14 days, bear from 90.
- BearOver three months the share price changed −14% and the median of 462 Industrials companies changed −0.32%: behind by 13 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.
- BearProfit margin on the latest captured figures is 6.0%. Counted for the bear side when negative.

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 − DAX 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.

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.
