Oxford Instruments plc: what insiders have been doing
Oxford Instruments plc, founded in 1959, is a listed company based in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom. Its directors and officers file their transactions with RNS (LSE). The last twelve months, up to 19 October 2026, brought 8 filings signed by 3 insiders.
There is no open-market purchase to report; the filings show 2 sales worth €874k by 1 insider. At €512k, the sale published on 23 December 2025 by Richard Tyson is the largest of the period.
Typically, a trade is published a median of 4 days after it takes place. The regulation allows three business days to notify a trade (UK MAR). Sales are harder to read than purchases, since they often meet personal needs such as tax or diversification.
For context, the typical company on the same exchange (median of 833 companies) published 6 filings over the same period, against 8 filings here. Looking back to 2023, when coverage begins, insiders filed 2 purchases and 5 sales.
Every figure here comes from the filings published by RNS (LSE) and describes the past, not future prices; it is not investment advice.
