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+17.9 / 25

Purchase value relative to company size and liquidity

Role+20.0 / 20

The seniority and relevance of participating insiders

Recency+0.1 / 10

How recently the purchases occurred

Conviction+9.9 / 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 · ceo/chair involved

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

Largest buyer:STEPHANE LEDERMANN · 150k EUR
Gross qualified purchase transaction-line value:150k 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.

×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.

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 (senior executive buying); short sellers were checked and none crosses a bear threshold. No data is held for: share price and trading, company results.

  • The insider purchases themselvesBullsenior executive buying Bearone buyer only5 checked, under the threshold · 2 missing
  • Share price and tradingno data held
  • Short sellers1 checked, under the threshold
  • Company results2 missing
  • Company actionsBearsubscription to new shares

Bull case · the buying is informative

  • The buyers include the CEO or chair, 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

  • Company actions1 of 1 purchase lines is a subscription to newly issued shares (“Souscription”), bought from the company at an issue price and not in the market. Insiders often take part to support a financing.
  • 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%).

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 or of its trading volume.
  • 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.
  • 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: 6
  • Either1 insider bought in the last 180 days and 0 in the 180 days before. Bull when the number at least doubles and rises by two; bear when at least two bought before and no more buy now.
  • Bear0 of 1 buyer filed as a person closely associated with a manager. Counted for the bear side from half.
  • EitherNet purchases of €64k in 180 days. Bull from €1.0M, bear when all purchases total under €25k.
  • BearInsiders sold €461 in the same 180 days, 0.72% of the amount bought. Counted for the bear side from 25%.
  • EitherThe latest purchase is 64 days old. Bull up to 14 days, bear from 90.
  • BearThe register of AMF 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.

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.

Disclosed net short positions

The AMF 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.

These are underlying national-feed records from the 365-day window ending on the saved ranking snapshot. The score uses only the latest 180 days; older qualifying equity purchases remain visible for audit but do not enter the current score. The original filer, role, transaction classification, instrument, price, volume, value and source fields are retained. The first three rows are shown; remaining records can be unfolded for audit. Other transaction types are retained but excluded from the score.
