YouGov plc: what insiders have been doing

YouGov plc, classified in the Industrials sector, is a listed company based in London, United Kingdom, founded in 2000. Its insiders report their share dealings to RNS (LSE). In the past year (8 November 2025 to 8 November 2026), 6 filings came from 6 insiders.

No insider sold shares on the market over the period. Instead, the filings list 6 purchases totalling €237k, made by 6 insiders. The totals do not cover 1 filing with an undisclosed amount. A purchase on the market is a deliberate choice to commit personal money, which is why it draws more attention than a grant. On the buying side, the filings list 4 board members, 1 senior executive and 1 chief executive among the declarants. At €118k, the purchase published on 24 March 2026 by Stephan Shakespeare is the largest of the period.

Across the 835 companies tracked on its exchange, the median is 6 filings; at 6 filings, this issuer sits right on that mark. Over the whole record (from 2013), the tally stands at 46 purchases and 38 sales.

In all, 3 purchases were made within 30 days of a purchase by another insider of the company. When several insiders buy within a few weeks of each other, analysts speak of a cluster purchase. The clock since the last published purchase (24 March 2026) now reads 228 days. The median gap between a trade and its publication by RNS (LSE) is 1 day. Under the UK Market Abuse Regulation, managers have three business days to notify their trades.

Other companies in the same sector with recent insider buying flagged by our signals: Auroora Yhtiöt Oyj and MBB SE. This summary is built from RNS (LSE) disclosures alone and does not predict where the share price will go.
