"Name (Position) | Director / PDMR | Price | Volume"

A PDMR (person discharging managerial responsibilities) is an individual who can shape a company’s strategy or finances—typically senior executives, board members, or close advisors with decision-making authority. Investors care because PDMRs often hold material, non‑public information and their buying or selling of shares must be reported; monitoring those disclosures is like watching a ship’s captain to read the likely course and spot possible insider risk.
