Chief financial officer Ruben Baldew bought 28,290 common shares on the open market on August 19, 2026, at around $11.85, raising his direct holding to 367,172 shares. The required disclosure sparked a roughly 4.6% share-price gain and was interpreted as a signal that the stock is currently undervalued. The purchase follows a series of insider buys by CEO Dominic Brisby and co‑founder and director Ian Ashken; solid Q2 figures (adjusted EPS $0.39, revenue $724m) support the positive sentiment despite a downgrade from Zacks and a lowered full‑year profit forecast due to higher refinancing costs. » More on de.investing.com
