inside information regulatory
"notice of inside information of 10 August 2026"
Information not available to the public that, if known, would likely cause a company’s stock or bonds to rise or fall—for example, undisclosed earnings, deals, product results, or management plans. It matters because trading on that information gives an unfair advantage, can distort market prices, and is typically illegal or subject to strict rules, so investors watch for proper disclosure and compliance to protect fair, transparent markets.
Market Abuse regulatory
"Pursuant to article 5 of Regulation (EU) no. 596/2014 on Market Abuse"
Market abuse is illegal or unethical behavior that distorts the price or fairness of buying and selling financial assets, such as using secret information to trade, spreading false or misleading news, or creating fake buying and selling to give a false impression of demand. It matters to investors because it can cause unfair losses, unreliable prices and legal or reputational fallout; like cheating in a game or tampering with a scale, it destroys confidence that markets reflect true value.

weighted average price financial
"Number of shares | Weighted average price (€)"
Weighted average price is the average price of a security where each trade or component is counted according to its size, so bigger trades pull the average more than smaller ones. Think of it like calculating the average cost of a grocery haul where items you bought more of have greater influence on the final per-item cost. Investors use it to understand the true average price paid or received, judge execution quality, and compare trading performance against market movement.
