Smiths News plc Stock: price and insider trades · United Kingdom

Smiths News plc, classified in the Media sector, is a listed company. Its insiders report their share dealings to RNS (LSE). The last twelve months, up to 21 October 2026, brought 14 filings signed by 5 insiders.

Both sides are active: 2 purchases worth €34k and 3 sales worth €533k, from 2 insiders and 2 insiders respectively. Sales outweigh purchases by €499k. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. Jonathan Bunting filed the largest sale, €344k, on 3 December 2025. The buyers include 2 board members.

With 14 filings in twelve months, the company is more active than the median of 6 filings across the 831 companies we follow on the same exchange. Since 2017, the database holds 23 purchases and 14 sales by insiders of the company.

Within a 30-day window, 1 purchase overlapped with buying by a second insider. When several insiders buy within a few weeks of each other, analysts speak of a cluster purchase. The clock since the last published purchase (12 December 2025) now reads 313 days. 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). A sale on its own says little: insiders also sell to pay tax, fund a purchase or diversify.

This summary is built from RNS (LSE) disclosures alone and does not predict where the share price will go.
