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+25.0 / 25

Purchase value relative to company size and liquidity

Role+19.0 / 20

The seniority and relevance of participating insiders

Recency+7.1 / 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
  • ✓ Strong insider role · assoc involved
  • ✓ Recent activity · latest purchase 2026-10-12

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.

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, −35.2% over these six months

The closing price of each day, from 28.00 on 2026-04-21 to 18.15 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, −3.1%

Taken from the 26 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 −35.2%, the typical one −3.1%, 32.1 points behind. It is not an index and not a comparison within one industry.

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

The two kinds of evidence disagree: the purchases themselves carry bull lines (large purchases, bought in the last two weeks), while share price and trading argue against (price down over six months, price trails its sector). No data is held for: short sellers, company actions.

  • The insider purchases themselvesBulllarge purchases, bought in the last two weeks Bearone buyer only, associated persons buying1 checked, under the threshold · 3 missing
  • Share price and tradingBearprice down over six months, price trails its sector
  • Short sellers1 missing
  • Company results1 checked, under the threshold · 1 missing
  • Company actionsno data held

Bull case · the buying is informative

  • Net purchases of €37.3M equal 17% of the company's market value (€222.4M): large for the size of the business.
  • The latest purchase is 5 days old (2026-10-12). 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%).
  • Every buyer is filed as a person closely associated with a manager (family or a holding vehicle), not the manager. This model weights such filers among the least informative.Record: after 1,554 earlier disclosures like this, the median 60-session excess return was −7.4%, 1.6 percentage points below all comparable disclosures (−5.8%).
  • Share price and tradingThe share price is down 35% over six months (three months −37%, one month −14%). 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%).
  • Share price and tradingOver three months the share price changed −37% and the median of 268 Financial Services companies changed −0.35%: 37 points behind. The market has marked this company down against its own sector.

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 37%). Whether earnings and cash flow are rising or falling needs the last two reports side by side.
  • The short-position register for this company's market is not captured here, so whether professional investors are positioned against the buying is not known.
  • European notifications have no field saying whether a purchase was pre-arranged; there is no counterpart to the US 10b5-1 box. The one purchase line does not mention a plan, but a bare “ACQUISTO” 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: 2
  • BearInsiders sold €187k in the same 180 days, 0.50% of the amount bought. Counted for the bear side from 25%.
  • BearProfit margin on the latest captured figures is 37%. Counted for the bear side when negative.

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.

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.
