No insider purchase over the last 90 days. The latest was filed 10 Dec 2025.
This page follows insider dealings at Givaudan SA as filed with SIX SER, a company from the Chemicals & Materials sector based in Geneva, Switzerland. The group dates from 1895. In the past year (18 October 2025 to 18 October 2026), 8 filings came from 3 insiders.
On the market, 1 insider bought (1 purchase totalling €460k) while 3 insiders sold (7 sales totalling €5.3M). Sales outweigh purchases by €4.8M. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. Among those who bought: 1 senior executive. The largest single trade was a sale of €2.8M, published on 30 October 2025.
The clock since the last published purchase (10 December 2025) now reads 312 days. The median gap between trade and publication is zero days: most filings appear on the same day. That lag is the time during which only the insider knows about the trade. A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify.
With 8 filings in twelve months, the company is quieter than the median of 9 filings across the 178 companies we follow on the same exchange. The full history, which starts in 2023, counts 1 purchase against 41 sales.
