"INITIAL NOTIFICATION OF TRANSACTIONS OF PERSONS DISCHARGING MANAGERIAL RESPONSIBILITY (PDMRs)"
PDMRs are senior executives, directors or other people with significant decision-making authority whose buying or selling of a company’s shares must be reported under market rules. Investors watch PDMR disclosures because these trades can reveal how confident those running the company are in its prospects and because reporting helps prevent unfair advantage; think of it as noting the captain’s moves to gauge confidence in a ship’s course.
