INSIDER SIGNAL
This is a ranking under the current European screening rules—not a probability of gain, return forecast, or buy recommendation.
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.
Where the evidence comes from
The two kinds of evidence disagree: the purchases themselves carry bull lines (bought in the last two weeks), while short sellers argue against (published short positions). No data is held for: share price and trading, company results, company actions.

Bull case · the buying is informative
- The latest purchase is 13 days old (2026-10-06). The buying is current, not left over from an earlier quarter.
Bear case · discount it
- Short sellersDisclosed net short positions total 2.09% of the share capital: other professional investors are positioned the opposite way. On 2026-10-02 it was 2.25%: down 0.16 points since.
Evidence still missing
- 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.
Checked and under the threshold: 2
- EitherNet purchases of €370k in 180 days. Bull from €1.0M, bear when all purchases total under €25k.
- BearNo insider sale is recorded in the same 180 days.
Both columns arrange stored facts only. They do not change the insider score or the ranking and are not investment advice.

There is not yet a 30-calendar-day comparison; earlier scores are not reconstructed. These are raw signal scores saved when each full scoring run completed. They describe changes in research ranking, not price performance or returns.
Why did it change?
Less than 30 days of comparable history is available, so factor movement is not yet decomposed.
