BASF SE Stock: price and insider trades · Germany

BASF SE, classified in the Chemicals & Materials sector, is a listed company based in Ludwigshafen, Germany, founded in 1865. Its latest reported headcount is 111,991 employees (2023). Its insiders report their share dealings to BaFin. In the past year (18 October 2025 to 18 October 2026), 7 filings came from 6 insiders.

Not one open-market sale was filed. On the buying side, 6 insiders reported 6 purchases totalling €715k. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. Among those who bought: 4 senior executives and 2 board members. At €211k, the purchase published on 5 May 2026 by Scharpwinkel, Dr. Katja is the largest of the period (0.0005% of market cap).

For context, the typical company on the same exchange (median of 287 companies) published 5 filings over the same period, against 7 filings here. Since 2025, the database holds 7 purchases and no sales by insiders of the company.

Within a 30-day window, 5 purchases overlapped with buying by a second insider. Such overlaps are known as a cluster signal: distinct people reaching the same decision at about the same time. The last purchase on record was published on 11 May 2026, which is 159 days ago. The median gap between a trade and its publication by BaFin is 1 day. The regulation allows three business days to notify a trade (MAR article 19).

Elsewhere in the same sector, our signals recently picked up insider purchases at Culp Inc. Every figure here comes from the filings published by BaFin and describes the past, not future prices; it is not investment advice.
