WHY THIS SIGNAL?

Score anatomy

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

Cluster+17.4 / 35

How many distinct insiders bought in the cluster

Purchase size+24.2 / 25

Purchase value relative to company size and liquidity

Role+20.0 / 20

The seniority and relevance of participating insiders

Recency+7.1 / 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 · ceo/chair involved
  • ✓ Recent activity · latest purchase 2026-10-12

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

BUYING PROFILE

How qualifying purchases are distributed across clustering, repetition, participation and size.

The filings do not name the buyer, so cluster buying, repeat buying and breadth cannot be told apart.

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.

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, −30.4% over these six months

The closing price of each day, from 50.00 on 2026-04-21 to 34.80 on 2026-10-12. 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, +2.4%

Taken from the 491 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 −30.4%, the typical one +2.4%, 32.8 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.

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: new on the bear side: loss-making; no longer on the bear side: thinly traded. 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, senior executive buying, bought in the last two weeks), while share price and trading argue against (price down over six months); company results argue against (loss-making).

  • The insider purchases themselvesBulllarge purchases, senior executive buying, bought in the last two weeks1 checked, under the threshold · 3 missing
  • Share price and tradingBearprice down over six months1 checked, under the threshold
  • Short sellers1 checked, under the threshold
  • Company resultsBearloss-making1 missing
  • Company actions1 checked, under the threshold

Bull case · the buying is informative

  • Net purchases of €3.0M equal 6.7% of the company's market value (€44.8M): large for the size of the business.
  • 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%).
  • 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

  • Company resultsThe company is loss-making on the latest captured figures: profit margin −0.33%, return on equity −0.23%.
  • Share price and tradingThe share price is down 31% over six months (three months −7.6%, one month −6.4%) and stands 42% 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 11,077 earlier disclosures like this, the median 60-session excess return was −3.2%, within 1 percentage point of all comparable disclosures (−2.6%).

Evidence still missing

  • This register does not name the filer, so the 14 purchase lines may come from one person or from several. Breadth of buying cannot be judged.
  • Only one reading of profitability is held (profit margin −0.33%). 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 14 purchase lines mentions a plan, but a bare “Purchase of Ordinary shares” 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
  • BearNo insider sale is recorded in the same 180 days.
  • BearOver three months the share price changed −7.6% and the median of 330 Technology companies changed −2.4%: behind by 5 points. Counted for the bear side from 20 points behind.
  • BearThe register of FCA shows no published net short position in this company.
  • BullThe company announced no transaction in its own shares in the last 30 days.

Both columns arrange stored facts only. They do not change the insider score or the ranking and are not investment advice.
