The role contribution uses the inverted role input of the current European model.
Buying concentration
64%
Largest buyer：Kathryn Mecklenburgh · 426k GBP
Gross qualified purchase transaction-line value：661k 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.

Insider vs stock price
3 purchase day(s), 13 purchase line(s) in the 180-day window.
Daily close (GBp)Day with an insider purchaseTwo or more insiders the same day
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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-04-23 | 1 | 1,278 +27.8% | 1,062 +6.2% | +216 +21.6 pts |
| 2026-04-29 | 1 | 1,248 +24.8% | 1,075 +7.5% | +173 +17.3 pts |
2 of 2 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 (84 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
7 insiders bought on the same day, 16 Oct: 4 Board member, 2 CEO / chair, 1 CFO. The share closed at 1,700.00 that day and at 1,700.00 most recently (+0.0%). That week 138 companies across Europe disclosed insider purchases, an ordinary week (25 of the last 26).
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.
▮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 16 Oct, 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, +24.7% over these six months
The closing price of each day, from 1,363.00 on 2026-04-21 to 1,700.00 on 2026-10-16. 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, +2.7%
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 +24.7%, the typical one +2.7%, 22.0 points ahead. 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: 138 companies, number 25 of the last 26 weeks. If that week was a peak anyway, buying together is less special than it looks.

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 bull side: more buyers than usual here, bought in the last two weeks; new on the bear side: subscription to new shares, small purchases; no longer on the bear side: one buyer only, latest purchase is old. All bull and bear lists, and what followed each line in the past →
Where the evidence comes from
Independent evidence does not object: the purchases themselves carry bull lines (more buyers than usual here, senior executive buying, bought in the last two weeks); share price and trading, short sellers, company actions were checked and none crosses a bear threshold. No data is held for: company results.

Bull case · the buying is informative
- 8 insiders bought in the last 180 days against 1 in the 180 days before: more than this company's own recent norm.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%).
- The latest purchase is 1 day old (2026-10-16). The buying is current, not left over from an earlier quarter.
Bear case · discount it
- Company actions7 of 13 purchase lines are subscriptions to newly issued shares (“Direct subscription for new ordinary shares in Softcat plc”), bought from the company at an issue price and not in the market. Insiders often take part to support a financing.
- Insider purchases in the last 20 sessions equal 0.09% of the stock's traded value over those sessions: too small to register in the market.
Evidence still missing
- The latest purchase (2026-10-16) falls within 30 days before the next scheduled results (2026-10-21), normally a closed period. Either the dealing was cleared as an exception or the results date is wrong; the filing and the financial calendar show which.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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: 9, 1 close to it
- BearThe largest buyer accounts for 64% of the value bought. Counted for the bear side from 80%. close to the threshold
- BullAt most 1 insider bought within any 15 days. Counted for the bull side from 3.
- Bear0 of 8 buyers filed as a person closely associated with a manager. Counted for the bear side from half.
- BearNo insider sale is recorded in the same 180 days.
- BearThe share price changed +28% over six months (three months −9.0%, one month −14%). Counted for the bear side from a fall of 20%.
- BearOver three months the share price changed −9.0% and the median of 330 Technology companies changed −2.4%: behind by 7 points. Counted for the bear side from 20 points behind.
- BearThe register of FCA shows no published net short position in this company. On 2026-10-02 it showed 0.21%: what was published then has since been closed or cut below the threshold.
- BullThe company announced no transaction in its own shares in the last 30 days.
- BearAbout €16.0M of the stock changes hands on an average day. Counted for the bear side below €500k.

Insider profile outcomes
Historical performance following insider filings. The company role is translated below each name while preserving the original title.
- Excess return = stock return − FTSE 100 return over the same period.
- Hit rate = completed events with positive excess return ÷ total completed events.
- Price coverage = valid point-in-time prices ÷ events mature enough for that period.
- Returns start on the first shared trading session on or after publication.
- Small-sample rule: n<5 is shown for transparency and is not scored.
Events are disclosure-level observations; related disclosures published on the same date may share a return path and may not be statistically independent. This research enrichment does not affect the insider score or ranking.
