A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. The buyers include 8 board members and 1 chief executive. Jose Gonzalo filed the largest purchase, €48.7M, on 28 April 2026, which represents 0.062% of the company's market value.
In the case of 17 purchases, another manager of the company was buying within the same 30 days. A cluster is several different insiders buying the same stock within a short window, a pattern studied more closely than a single purchase. The last insider purchase was made public on 30 September 2026, 17 days ago. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on AMF, the median delay is 2 days. Under the Market Abuse Regulation, managers have three business days to notify their trades.
Across the 316 companies tracked on its exchange, the median is 6 filings; at 50 filings, this issuer sits above that mark. Since 2021, the database holds 99 purchases and 23 sales by insiders of the company.

In 2024, EssilorLuxottica generated revenue of €26.5 billion, confirming its scale and leadership position in the global eyewear industry.
The company’s history reflects the combination of two iconic optical businesses: Essilor, carrying a long French industrial heritage in lenses, and Luxottica, the Italian powerhouse known for frames and branded eyewear. Their combination created EssilorLuxottica, now regarded as the benchmark global player in the sector. The Group’s stated mission is to help people “see more and be more,” linking vision health, personal style and broader access to high-quality eye care.
EssilorLuxottica’s main business lines cover prescription and therapeutic lenses, vision protection and performance solutions, frames and sunglasses under some of the industry’s most recognizable brands, as well as fast-growing areas such as wearables and med-tech. Its portfolio includes leading technologies and brands such as Varilux, Stellest, Transitions, Ray-Ban, Oakley and Supreme, alongside retail banners including Sunglass Hut, LensCrafters, Vision Express and Apollo. The Group is also investing in digital health, AI-enabled solutions, smart glasses and eye-care related instruments.
The company’s competitive strength comes from its vertical integration, brand power and global commercial footprint. At the end of 2024, EssilorLuxottica employed more than 200,000 people, operated in 150 countries and had around 18,000 stores, supported by a sizeable portfolio of patents, designs and trademarks. Its international presence spans North America, EMEA, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. Recent highlights include continued growth in 2024, strong free cash flow and the acceleration of new categories such as connected eyewear and med-tech solutions.
Beyond its industrial and commercial reach, EssilorLuxottica relies on a sustained innovation agenda and a strong social commitment through the OneSight EssilorLuxottica Foundation, which works to expand sustainable access to vision care worldwide. This combination of global leadership, product innovation and distribution depth makes the company one of Europe’s most prominent listed names in the health and vision-care universe.
