Auto Trader Group plc: what insiders have been doing
Every trade that managers of Auto Trader Group plc disclose to RNS (LSE) is tracked on this page. The company is based in Manchester, United Kingdom. It was founded in 1975. In the past year (18 October 2025 to 18 October 2026), 26 filings came from 12 insiders.
The record shows 14 purchases on the open market worth €160.0M, made by 9 insiders, against 2 sales worth €600k by 2 insiders. The totals do not cover 10 filings with an undisclosed amount. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. The largest single trade was a purchase of €159.9M, published on 21 May 2026, equal to 3.8% of the market capitalisation. Those buying include 6 senior executives.
Compared with its exchange (833 companies, median 6 filings), a count of 26 filings is above the norm. Looking back to 2023, when coverage begins, insiders filed 15 purchases and 10 sales.
The most recent open-market purchase was published on 30 June 2026, 110 days ago. The median gap between trade and publication is zero days: most filings appear on the same day. The legal deadline for notifying a trade is three business days (UK MAR).
These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by RNS (LSE). They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.
