M&C Saatchi PLC: what insiders have been doing
Headquartered in United Kingdom, M&C Saatchi PLC is a listed company and traces its origins to 1995. Filings by its managers are published through RNS (LSE). Over the twelve months to 18 October 2026, 3 filings were filed, from 3 insiders.
Every open-market trade in the period is a purchase: 2 purchases worth €173k, from 2 insiders, and not a single sale. Buying on the open market means paying the going price with one's own funds, a different act from receiving shares as pay. The largest single trade was a purchase of €114k by Zaid Al-Qassab, published on 2 December 2025. The buyers include 1 board member and 1 chief executive.
Compared with its exchange (833 companies, median 6 filings), a count of 3 filings is below the norm. The full history, which starts in 2023, counts 4 purchases against no sales.
The clock since the last published purchase (30 April 2026) now reads 171 days. The median gap between a trade and its publication by RNS (LSE) is 1 day. The legal deadline for notifying a trade is three business days (UK MAR).
Every figure here comes from the filings published by RNS (LSE) and describes the past, not future prices; it is not investment advice.
