2 insiders bought €25k of shares over the last 90 days, the latest filed 10 Oct 2026.
Cluster: 2 buyers in 30 daysGrenke AG, founded in 1978, is a Finance & Banking company based in Baden-Baden, Germany. Its directors and officers file their transactions with BaFin. The last twelve months, up to 18 October 2026, brought 10 filings signed by 5 insiders.
No insider sold shares on the market over the period. Instead, the filings list 10 purchases totalling €106k, made by 5 insiders. Unlike grants, an open-market purchase is paid for by the insider, at the market price. One trade stands out by size: a purchase of €15k from Hirsch, Dr. Sebastian, disclosed on 10 October 2026, or 0.0034% of market capitalisation. Among those who bought: 3 senior executives and 2 board members.
In all, 3 purchases were made within 30 days of a purchase by another insider of the company. When several insiders buy within a few weeks of each other, analysts speak of a cluster purchase. The last purchase on record was published on 10 October 2026, which is 7 days ago. The median gap between a trade and its publication by BaFin is 1 day. For comparison, MAR article 19 gives managers three business days to notify a trade.
For context, the typical company on the same exchange (median of 287 companies) published 5 filings over the same period, against 10 filings here. The full history, which starts in 2025, counts 10 purchases against no sales.
Elsewhere in the same sector, our signals recently picked up insider purchases at First Guaranty Bancshares, Inc. and BCB Bancorp Inc. Every figure here comes from the filings published by BaFin and describes the past, not future prices; it is not investment advice.

Grenke AG is a German specialist financing company listed on Xetra/Frankfurt (DAX/MDAX/SDAX) in Germany, with headquarters in Baden-Baden. The group has built its business around small-ticket leasing, serving small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), self-employed professionals, and selected reseller partners. Founded in 1978 by Wolfgang Grenke, the company evolved from a local finance provider into an international niche player focused on fast, standardized financing solutions for business equipment.
At its core, GRENKE provides operating-style leasing for low-value professional assets. Its typical asset categories include IT hardware, office equipment, telecom devices, point-of-sale systems, audiovisual equipment, and other business investment goods. The group has also offered factoring and banking services, although its recent strategic emphasis has been on leasing as the main earnings engine. This portfolio enables GRENKE to support SMEs that need flexible financing for recurring equipment purchases rather than large, one-off capital projects.
From a competitive standpoint, GRENKE occupies a distinct niche versus universal banks and broader leasing companies. Its strength lies in specialization, disciplined underwriting, a highly standardized contract-processing model, and a broad local sales presence. The company markets itself as a financing partner for SMEs and operates through an international network of subsidiaries and local organizations, giving it reach across Europe and other selected markets. Its business model is particularly suited to small-scale transactions, where speed, convenience, and repeat customer relationships matter more than scale per individual deal.
Recent developments suggest a business that is growing while remaining selective on risk. In January 2026, GRENKE reported that it had met its full-year guidance for 2025, with leasing new business reaching EUR 3.2946 billion, up 7.8% year on year, and CM2 margin at 16.7%. The company had already confirmed in 2024 that it surpassed the EUR 3 billion threshold in leasing new business for the first time in its history. In the first half of 2025, it also reported lease receivables of EUR 6.9 billion. In parallel, GRENKE has continued to adjust its footprint and portfolio mix, including actions related to its factoring business and international transactions, which indicates an active capital-allocation and portfolio-management approach. As a listed German issuer, GRENKE also publishes MAR Article 19 directors’ dealings notifications to BaFin, underscoring its regulatory transparency and governance framework.
