Recent insider purchases and share awards have coincided with mild negative or flat price reactions, while the latest earnings release triggered a sharp selloff.
Over recent months, Magnum Ice Cream Company has repeatedly reported insider share purchases and awards of ordinary shares of €3.50 each, disclosed under Market Abuse Regulation rules. Transactions involved senior leaders including the CEO, CFO, Chair, and Chief Legal Officer, with modest (1%) negative price reactions following these filings. In contrast, FY2025 results on Feb 12, 2026 showed weaker profit and free cash flow, prompting a larger -17.92% move. Today’s broader PDMR acquisitions follow that earnings-driven reset.
