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 2026-11-03, 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); 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
- 4 insiders bought on the same day (2026-08-03). Several people reaching the same decision at the same time is hard to put down to one person's circumstances.Record: after 5,440 earlier disclosures like this, the median 60-session excess return was −3.5%, within 1 percentage point of all comparable disclosures (−3.4%).
Bear case · discount it
- The latest purchase was 94 days ago (2026-08-03). A reporting period has passed since, so what the buyers knew then may already be public.
- Buying at this level is normal here: 4 insiders bought in the previous 180 days and 4 in this one.Record: after 2,827 earlier disclosures like this, the median 60-session excess return was −2.7%, within 1 percentage point of all comparable disclosures (−2.7%).
- The 7 earlier purchases by Kershaw D. trailed AEX by a median 2.5% over the following 60 trading days.
- Share price and tradingAbout €55k 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
- Only one reading of profitability is held (profit margin <0.01%). 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 4 purchase lines mentions a plan, but a bare “Koop” 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: 8
- BearThe largest buyer accounts for 30% of the value bought. Counted for the bear side from 80%.
- Bear0 of 4 buyers filed as a person closely associated with a manager. Counted for the bear side from half.
- EitherNet purchases equal 0.01% of the company's market value. Bull from 0.10%, bear below 0.01%.
- BearNo insider sale is recorded in the same 180 days.
- BearThe share price changed +0.68% over six months (three months −0.67%, one month −0.34%) and stands 13% below its 52-week high. Counted for the bear side from a fall of 20%.
- BearOver three months the share price changed −0.67% and the median of 385 Financial Services companies changed −1.7%: ahead by 1 points. Counted for the bear side from 20 points behind.
- BearThe register of AFM 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 <0.01%. Counted for the bear side when negative.
Both columns arrange stored facts only. They do not change the insider score or the ranking and are not investment advice.

WHY THIS SIGNAL?
Score anatomy
Each bar is that part's points in the score; the five parts add up to the score.
Number of buyers+35.0 / 35
How many different insiders bought within 15 days
Amount bought+16.6 / 25
The value bought, net of any insider sales
Buyers' roles+7.0 / 20
Lower in the company scores higher: in the backtest, purchases by the most senior insiders did worse
How recent+0.0 / 10
How long ago the latest purchase took place
Buying against selling+10.0 / 10
Lower when insiders also sold
What is holding the score back?
- ⚠ Buyers' roles add little · most senior buyer: Board member; the most senior score lowest
- ⚠ The latest purchase was some time ago
- ✓ Many buyers · 4 or more different insiders
Buyers' roles follow the European ranking's order of roles: the most senior insiders score lowest.
Buying concentration
30%
Largest buyer：Kershaw D. · 8k EUR
Purchases counted, before sales：27k EUR
The amount at the top of the page is purchases minus sales; this one counts purchases only, in the filing currency, so the two can differ. The score counts how many people bought; this shows separately who bought the most.
This is a ranking under the current European screening rules—not a probability of gain, return forecast, or buy recommendation.

Insider timeline
4 insiders bought on the same day, 3 Aug: 4 Board member. The share closed at 5.98 that day and at 5.92 most recently (−1.0%). That week 161 companies across Europe disclosed insider purchases, an ordinary week (24 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.
▮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 3 Aug, with 4 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, +1.4% over these six months
The closing price of each day, from 5.84 on 2026-05-11 to 5.92 on 2026-11-04. 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, −4.7%
Taken from the 31 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 +1.4%, the typical one −4.7%, 6.1 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: 161 companies, number 24 of the last 26 weeks. If that week was a peak anyway, buying together is less special than it looks.

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 − AEX 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.
