Purchases and sales both appear in the filings: 6 purchases (6 insiders, €585k) and 9 sales (1 insider, €11.7M). Netting one side against the other leaves €11.1M of net selling. Unlike grants, an open-market purchase is paid for by the insider, at the market price. At €2.7M, the sale published on 5 February 2026 by Vincent Bolloré is the largest of the period. Among those who bought: 3 senior executives, 2 chief executives and 1 board member.
Compared with its exchange (316 companies, median 6 filings), a count of 20 filings is above the norm. Over the whole record (from 2021), the tally stands at 93 purchases and 30 sales.
The data flag 5 purchases as part of a group of insiders buying within 30 days of each other. When several insiders buy within a few weeks of each other, analysts speak of a cluster purchase. The clock since the last published purchase (29 July 2026) now reads 80 days. Filings reach the AMF feed a median of 4 days after the trade. For comparison, MAR article 19 gives managers three business days to notify a trade. Selling is not necessarily a view on the stock: liquidity needs and diversification are common motives.

Vivendi SE is a French-listed group whose roots go back to Compagnie Générale des Eaux, created by imperial decree on 14 December 1853. Over more than a century and a half, the company has undergone a major strategic reinvention, evolving from a utility and infrastructure business into a content, media, and entertainment platform. In 1998, the group adopted the Vivendi name, reflecting its break from the legacy of the water business and its shift toward communication and intellectual-property-driven activities.
Today, Vivendi SE operates primarily as an investment and holding company focused on strategic stakes in media, culture, and entertainment assets. Its portfolio includes Gameloft, a globally recognized video game publisher; Universal Music Group, the world’s leading music company; Banijay, a major audiovisual production and online sports betting player; Lagardère, active in publishing and travel retail; MediaForEurope; and Prisa. Vivendi also highlights V Collection, dedicated to media and cultural content linked to the luxury sector.
The group has been reshaping its portfolio in recent years. In 2024, Vivendi completed the separation of Canal+, Havas, and Louis Hachette Group, which materially changed its composition and strengthened the visibility of the new Vivendi profile. This restructuring has made the company more clearly focused on holding high-quality stakes and optimizing the value of listed and strategic assets.
Operationally, Vivendi’s 2025 performance improved, with revenue of €307 million, EBITA of €45 million, and net income attributable to the group of €20 million. Financial net debt stood at €1.5 billion at 31 December 2025, down materially from year-end 2024, while the listed holdings portfolio was valued at €5.532 billion. These figures point to a stronger balance sheet and disciplined capital management.
Vivendi’s geographic footprint remains international, but its business model is now best understood as that of a strategic shareholder with exposure to global media and entertainment franchises rather than a fully integrated operating conglomerate. Its key areas of exposure span recorded music, video games, publishing, television, audiovisual production, digital media, and luxury-oriented cultural content. This gives Vivendi a distinctive market position at the intersection of media ownership, content monetization, and long-term asset value creation.
