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+16.3 / 25
Purchase value relative to company size and liquidity
Role+17.1 / 20
The seniority and relevance of participating insiders
Recency+0.1 / 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 · ? 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.

Insider vs stock price
1 purchase day(s), 2 purchase line(s) in the 180-day window.
Daily close (GBp)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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-08-07 | 1 | 1,214 +21.4% | 973 −2.7% | +241 +24.1 pts |
1 of 1 disclosure day(s) ended ahead of the median peer stock.
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 (454 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
One insider bought, once (7 Aug). The share closed at 2.80 that day and at 3.40 most recently (+21.4%).
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, +23.6% over these six months
The closing price of each day, from 2.75 on 2026-04-21 to 3.40 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, +2.3%
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 +23.6%, the typical one +2.3%, 21.3 points ahead. 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, neither column has changed. All bull and bear lists, and what followed each line in the past →

- The insider purchases themselvesBearsmall purchases2 checked, under the threshold · 3 missing

Bull case · the buying is informative
Nothing held here goes beyond the fact that an insider bought.
Bear case · discount it
- All purchases in the window total €24k: a small commitment in absolute terms.
Evidence still missing
- This register does not name the filer, so the 2 purchase lines may come from one person or from several. Breadth of buying cannot be judged.
- 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 2 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: 6, 1 close to it
- EitherThe latest purchase is 71 days old. Bull up to 14 days, bear from 90. close to the threshold
- BearNo insider sale is recorded in the same 180 days.
- BearThe share price changed +28% over six months (three months +26%, one month +3.0%). Counted for the bear side from a fall of 20%.
- BearOver three months the share price changed +26% and the median of 176 Basic Materials companies changed +<0.01%: ahead by 26 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.
