Pearson plc Stock: price and insider trades · United Kingdom

This page follows insider dealings at Pearson plc as filed with RNS (LSE), a company from the Media sector based in London, United Kingdom. The group dates from 1844. Over the twelve months to 18 October 2026, 20 filings were filed, from 14 insiders.

Open-market activity splits into 7 purchases totalling €185k and 5 sales totalling €2.8M; 7 insiders sit on the buying side and 5 insiders on the selling side. The totals do not cover 3 filings with an undisclosed amount. Buying on the open market means paying the going price with one's own funds, a different act from receiving shares as pay. On the buying side, the filings list 5 board members and 2 chief executives among the declarants. One trade stands out by size: a sale of €1.7M from Tom ap Simon, disclosed on 13 August 2026, or 0.018% of market capitalisation.

In the case of 3 purchases, another manager of the company was buying within the same 30 days. Purchases made close together by different insiders form what is called a cluster. The latest purchase is recent: it was published 24 days ago, on 24 September 2026. Typically, a trade is published a median of 2 days after it takes place. For comparison, UK MAR gives managers three business days to notify a trade.

For context, the typical company on the same exchange (median of 834 companies) published 6 filings over the same period, against 20 filings here. Over the whole record (from 2023), the tally stands at 9 purchases and 19 sales.
