WHY THIS SIGNAL?

Score anatomy

Each bar shows the contribution to the current score; the weights and formula stay unchanged.

Cluster+35.0 / 35

How many distinct insiders bought in the cluster

Purchase size+17.8 / 25

Purchase value relative to company size and liquidity

Role+20.0 / 20

The seniority and relevance of participating insiders

Recency+0.2 / 10

How recently the purchases occurred

Conviction+5.3 / 10

How clearly buying stands out from other activity

What is holding the score back?

  • ⚠ Purchase activity is becoming less recent
  • ⚠ Buying conviction is reduced by concurrent selling
  • ✓ Broad buyer cluster · 4+ distinct filers
  • ✓ Strong insider role · ceo/chair involved

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

Buying concentration

The filings do not name the buyer, so who bought how much cannot be worked out.

This is a ranking under the current European screening rules—not a probability of gain, return forecast, or buy recommendation.

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.

Insider timeline

7 insiders bought within 2 days, 19 Aug to 20 Aug: 3 Board member, 2 Role not classified, 1 CEO / chair, 1 CFO. The share closed at 26.95 on the first of those days and at 22.15 most recently (−17.8%). That week 194 companies across Europe disclosed insider purchases, an ordinary week (9 of the last 26). 2 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.

×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 19 Aug – 20 Aug, with 7 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, −61.7% over these six months

The closing price of each day, from 57.90 on 2026-04-21 to 22.15 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, −7.3%

Taken from the 100 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 −61.7%, the typical one −7.3%, 54.5 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: 194 companies, number 9 of the last 26 weeks. If that week was a peak anyway, buying together is less special than it looks.

Purchases against sales

89%purchases
Purchases89%8 line(s) · 6 insider(s)
Sales11%1 line(s) · 0 insider(s)

Shares of the NUMBER of transactions in the 180-day window: a reported value is missing for 0 line(s), or the lines are in more than one currency, so values cannot be added up. 2 line(s) are left out: the same person sold and bought the same number of shares on one day, which is a holding being moved, not a trade. 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, neither column has changed. 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, senior executive buying), while share price and trading argue against (price down over six months, price trails its sector); short sellers argue against (published short positions). No data is held for: company actions.

  • Company actionsno data held

Bull case · the buying is informative

  • 7 insiders bought within 15 days (2026-08-19 to 2026-08-20). 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; 7 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%).
  • 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

  • Insiders also sold €515k in the same 180 days, 90% of the amount bought.
  • Share price and tradingThe share price is down 59% over six months (three months −43%, one month −18%). 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 −43% and the median of 264 Consumer Cyclical companies changed −3.7%: 39 points behind. The market has marked this company down against its own sector.
  • Short sellersDisclosed net short positions total 2.40% of the share capital across 3 named holders: other professional investors are positioned the opposite way. On 2026-10-02 it was 2.20%: up 0.20 points since.

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 6.7%). 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 9 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: 4
  • Bear0 of 7 buyers filed as a person closely associated with a manager. Counted for the bear side from half.
  • EitherNet purchases equal 0.06% of the company's market value. Bull from 0.10%, bear below 0.01%.

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.
