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+18.9 / 25
Purchase value relative to company size and liquidity
Role+18.0 / 20
The seniority and relevance of participating insiders
Recency+9.3 / 10
How recently the purchases occurred
Conviction+10.0 / 10
How clearly buying stands out from other activity
What is holding the score back?
- ⚠ Buyer breadth is moderate · fewer than 4 distinct filers
- ✓ Strong insider role · cfo involved
- ✓ Recent activity · latest purchase 2026-10-22
The role contribution uses the inverted role input of the current European model.
Buying concentration
79%
Largest buyer：Cathrin Nylander · 920k NOK
Gross qualified purchase transaction-line value：1.17m NOK
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.

Insider vs stock price
2 purchase day(s), 2 purchase line(s) in the 180-day window.
Daily close (NOK)Day with an insider purchase
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-09-15 | 1 | 911 −8.9% | too few peers | — |
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 (0 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
2 insiders bought in the last 180 days, each once and more than 15 days apart.
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.
Blue line: this share's price, −17.4% over these six months
The closing price of each day, from 103.50 on 2026-04-27 to 85.45 on 2026-10-22. 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, −6.6%
Taken from the 102 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 −17.4%, the typical one −6.6%, 10.9 points behind. It is not an index and not a comparison within one industry.

This is a heuristic ordering under the current rules, not a calibrated return forecast. It explains why candidates rank differently; the public-filing evidence and data limits are shown 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.
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 (more buyers than usual here, senior executive buying, bought in the last two weeks), 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
- No insider bought in the 180 days before this window; 2 have bought in it. The buying is new for this company, not a habit.Record: after 3,162 earlier disclosures like this, the median 60-session excess return was −2.7%, within 1 percentage point of all comparable disclosures (−2.7%).
- The buyers include the CFO, 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 8,738 earlier disclosures like this, the median 60-session excess return was −3.1%, within 1 percentage point of all comparable disclosures (−3.2%).
- The latest purchase is 1 day old (2026-10-22). The buying is current, not left over from an earlier quarter.
Bear case · discount it
- Net purchases of €112k are <0.01% of the company's market value (€2.0bn): a visible sum, a small one against the business.
- Share price and tradingThe share price is down 21% over six months (three months −3.4%, one month −14%) and stands 27% 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 11,046 earlier disclosures like this, the median 60-session excess return was −3.3%, within 1 percentage point of all comparable disclosures (−2.6%).
Evidence still missing
- The latest purchase (2026-10-22) falls within 30 days before the next scheduled results (2026-10-22), normally a closed period. Either the dealing was cleared as an exception or the results date is wrong; the filing and the financial calendar show which.
- 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 7.0%). 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 2 purchase lines mentions a plan, but a bare “Kjøp” 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, 1 close to it
- BearThe largest buyer accounts for 79% of the value bought. Counted for the bear side from 80%. close to the threshold
- BullAt most 1 insider bought within any 15 days. Counted for the bull side from 3.
- Bear0 of 2 buyers filed as a person closely associated with a manager. Counted for the bear side from half.
- BearNo insider sale is recorded in the same 180 days.
- BearOver three months the share price changed −3.4% and the median of 355 Technology companies changed −1.9%: behind by 2 points. Counted for the bear side from 20 points behind.
- BearPublished net short positions add up to 0.70% of the share capital across 1 named holder. Counted for the bear side from 2%. On 2026-10-09 it was 0.69%: up 0.01 points since.
- BearProfit margin on the latest captured figures is 7.0%. Counted for the bear side when negative.
- BearAbout €6.6M of the stock changes hands on an average day. Counted for the bear side below €500k.

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 − Oslo Bors Benchmark 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.

Only positions of 0.5% or more are published, so the sum is a lower bound, not total short interest. Each row is the holder's latest notice, the notices have different dates, and the register still lists them all. A holder must notify every change of 0.1 points and a fall below 0.5%, so a row with an old date should mean the position has not moved since, but it can also be a notice that was never sent; whether it is still open is not confirmed. The age marks (recent, older, not updated for over a year) are this site's display rule, not a regulatory one. Source: Finanstilsynet · read 23 Oct 2026

A move is a change in what a holder published. Positions under 0.5% are not published, so a holder under that line can trade without any notice; "notified under 0.5%" does not say whether the position was closed or only cut.
Source: Finanstilsynet, read 2026-10-23.
