David Watkins

David Watkins is a declared insider of XPS Pensions Group plc, with filings sourced from RNS (LSE). Between 5 July 2019 and 26 July 2024, the trades on record add up to 20 filings.

On the open market, the record shows 6 purchases worth €190k and 5 sales worth €558k. Netting one side against the other leaves €368k of net selling. Open-market purchases are the filings investors watch most closely, because the insider pays for the shares out of pocket. The rest of the record consists of 7 share grants. Since January 2024: 1 purchase and 2 sales on the market.

Half of the purchases are above €40 and half below. Clusters matter here: 3 out of 6 purchases overlapped with buying by a colleague within 30 days. When several insiders buy within a few weeks of each other, analysts speak of a cluster purchase. For 3 purchases whose 90-day window has closed, the share price was higher on day 90 than the day after publication in 67% of cases, with a median move of +20.6%. This is a record of the past, not a forecast.

The newest entry dates from 29 July 2024: a share grant of €11k, in XPS Pensions Group plc. The clock since the last published purchase (11 July 2024) now reads 851 days. Filings reach the RNS (LSE) feed a median of 2 days after the trade. For comparison, UK MAR gives managers three business days to notify a trade.
