James Latham plc: what insiders have been doing
James Latham plc is a Chemicals company. Its directors and officers file their transactions with RNS (LSE). From 22 October 2025 to 22 October 2026, the disclosure feed for James Latham plc logged 3 filings by 2 insiders.
None of the filings is a plain purchase or sale on the open market; they cover grants, option exercises and other movements. Compensation-driven entries like these are tracked, but they say little about how insiders judge the share price.
No insider has bought James Latham plc shares on the open market in the past twelve months. Half of the filings or more reach the RNS (LSE) feed on the day of the trade. For comparison, UK MAR gives managers three business days to notify a trade.
For context, the typical company on the same exchange (median of 832 companies) published 6 filings over the same period, against 3 filings here. The full history, which starts in 2018, counts no purchases against 1 sale.
These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by RNS (LSE). They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.
