The open-market side counts 8 purchases for €893k alongside 13 sales for €5.3M. Sales outweigh purchases by €4.4M. Unlike grants, an open-market purchase is paid for by the insider, at the market price. Other entries cover 24 share grants and 11 option exercises.

A typical purchase (the median) is worth €70k. For 8 purchases whose 90-day window has closed, the share price was higher on day 90 than the day after publication in 13% of cases, with a median move of -24.7%. This is a record of the past, not a forecast.

The newest entry dates from 2 July 2014: a transaction, in Oxford Industries Inc. The last purchase on record was published on 12 January 2009, which is 6,509 days ago. Between a trade and the moment it shows up on SEC (Form 4), the median delay is 2 days. US insiders must file a Form 4 within two business days of a trade. Keep in mind that insiders sell for many reasons unrelated to the outlook, from tax bills to estate planning. Source: insider filings from SEC (Form 4). Past trades are no guide to future returns.
