Both buying and selling appear: 1 purchase worth €85k, against 2 sales worth €1,489. On balance, insiders were net buyers of €84k. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. Other entries cover 4 share grants and 1 option exercise.

Typically, a trade is published a median of 1 day after it takes place. For comparison, the SEC allows two business days to file a Form 4. Sales are harder to read than purchases, since they often meet personal needs such as tax or diversification. These figures are compiled from regulatory filings published by SEC (Form 4). They describe what insiders did and are not a recommendation.
