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+20.0 / 20

The seniority and relevance of participating insiders

Recency+3.1 / 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
  • ⚠ Purchase activity is becoming less recent
  • ✓ Strong insider role · ceo/chair involved

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

Largest buyer:Christopher Kyte (“Kit Kyte”) · 100k GBP
Gross qualified purchase transaction-line value:100k GBP

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.

Blue line: this share's price, −32.3% over these six months

The closing price of each day, from 24.00 on 2026-04-21 to 16.25 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, +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 −32.3%, the typical one +2.4%, 34.7 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.

Since 2026-10-13: no longer on the bull side: bought in the last two weeks. 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 (senior executive buying), while share price and trading argue against (price down over six months, price trails its sector). No data is held for: company results.

  • The insider purchases themselvesBullsenior executive buying Bearone buyer only5 checked, under the threshold · 3 missing
  • Share price and tradingBearprice down over six months, price trails its sector
  • Short sellers1 checked, under the threshold
  • Company results2 missing
  • Company actions1 checked, under the threshold

Bull case · the buying is informative

  • 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

  • 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%).
  • Share price and tradingThe share price is down 23% over six months (three months −24%, one month −28%) and stands 40% 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%).
  • Share price and tradingOver three months the share price changed −24% and the median of 330 Technology companies changed −2.4%: 22 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.
  • The company's market value is not captured, so the purchases cannot be stated as a share of the business or of its trading volume.
  • No earnings, margin or cash-flow figures are captured for this company. The latest annual and interim reports are where to check whether the business is improving or deteriorating.
  • 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 5 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: 7, 1 close to it
  • EitherThe latest purchase is 17 days old. Bull up to 14 days, bear from 90. close to the threshold
  • Either1 insider bought in the last 180 days and 1 in the 180 days before. Bull when the number at least doubles and rises by two; bear when at least two bought before and no more buy now.
  • Bear0 of 1 buyer filed as a person closely associated with a manager. Counted for the bear side from half.
  • EitherNet purchases of €119k in 180 days. Bull from €1.0M, bear when all purchases total under €25k.
  • BearNo insider sale is recorded in the same 180 days.
  • 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.

Why did it change?

Less than 30 days of comparable history is available, so factor movement is not yet decomposed.
