Hays plc Stock: price and insider trades · United Kingdom

Hays plc, founded in 1867, is a Business Services company based in London, United Kingdom. Its directors and officers file their transactions with RNS (LSE). Over the twelve months to 18 October 2026, the company's managers filed 55 filings, from 18 insiders.

Every open-market trade in the period is a purchase: 14 purchases worth €362k, from 11 insiders, and not a single sale. No amount is published for 7 filings, which the totals therefore leave out. 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 €169k from Mark Dearnley, disclosed on 18 May 2026, or 0.013% of market capitalisation. Those buying include 4 board members, 3 senior executives and 3 chief executives.

Across the 833 companies tracked on its exchange, the median is 6 filings; at 55 filings, this issuer sits above that mark. Looking back to 2023, when coverage begins, insiders filed 49 purchases and 17 sales.

Within a 30-day window, 7 purchases overlapped with buying by a second insider. When several insiders buy within a few weeks of each other, analysts speak of a cluster purchase. The latest purchase is recent: it was published 23 days ago, on 25 September 2026. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on RNS (LSE), the median delay is 1 day. Under the UK Market Abuse Regulation, managers have three business days to notify their trades.
