Smiths Group plc: what insiders have been doing

This page follows insider dealings at Smiths Group plc as filed with RNS (LSE), a company from the Industrials sector based in London, United Kingdom. The group dates from 1851. 9 insiders have disclosed 23 filings since 2 November 2025.

On the market, 6 insiders bought (13 purchases totalling €227k) while 3 insiders sold (3 sales totalling €3.4M). Sales outweigh purchases by €3.2M. Unlike grants, an open-market purchase is paid for by the insider, at the market price. One trade stands out by size: a sale of €1.7M from Roland Carter, disclosed on 13 October 2026, or 0.018% of market capitalisation. Those buying include 6 board members.

The data flag 9 purchases as part of a group of insiders buying within 30 days of each other. Purchases made close together by different insiders form what is called a cluster. The clock since the last published purchase (2 November 2026) now reads 5 days. Half of the filings or more reach the RNS (LSE) feed on the day of the trade. The legal deadline for notifying a trade is three business days (UK MAR).

Compared with its exchange (832 companies, median 6 filings), a count of 23 filings is above the norm. Since 2015, the database holds 76 purchases and 13 sales by insiders of the company.

Elsewhere in the same sector, our signals recently picked up insider purchases at Auroora Yhtiöt Oyj and MBB SE. Source: insider filings from RNS (LSE). Past trades are no guide to future returns.
