The Weir Group PLC: what insiders have been doing
The Weir Group PLC, founded in 1871, is a listed company based in Glasgow, United Kingdom. Its directors and officers file their transactions with RNS (LSE). In the past year (18 October 2025 to 18 October 2026), 53 filings came from 13 insiders.
Purchases and sales both appear in the filings: 1 purchase (1 insider, €47k) and 30 sales (9 insiders, €13.3M). The totals exclude 9 filings filed without an amount. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. On the buying side, the filings list 1 board member among the declarants. One trade stands out by size: a sale of €2.9M from Jon Stanton, disclosed on 21 April 2026.
For context, the typical company on the same exchange (median of 833 companies) published 6 filings over the same period, against 53 filings here. Looking back to 2023, when coverage begins, insiders filed 3 purchases and 94 sales.
The clock since the last published purchase (17 August 2026) now reads 62 days. Filings reach the RNS (LSE) feed a median of 1 day after the trade. For comparison, UK MAR gives managers three business days to notify a trade. Keep in mind that insiders sell for many reasons unrelated to the outlook, from tax bills to estate planning.
This summary is built from RNS (LSE) disclosures alone and does not predict where the share price will go.
