Handelsblatt-Auswertung: Bei diesen Aktien sehen Insider Chancen – auch Analysten raten zum Kauf

In August, several key industries witnessed significant insider stock purchases, according to Handelsblatt's analysis. Business executives in sectors such as mode, chemistry, motors, automotive supply chain, and software bought shares in large quantities, with Professor Olaf Stotz from the Privatuniversität Frankfurt School noting this trend.

Notably, the majority of analysts recommend purchasing the stocks that insiders bought heavily in August. This includes Deutz, a motor manufacturer, where CEO Sebastian Schulte purchased shares worth over €980,000. Following these insider purchases, Deutz's stock price surged nearly 30% to around €13, though it has since dropped back to roughly €12.

Seven analysts recommend buying Deutz, expecting its price to rise to €15.30 over the next year, driven by the company's involvement in the arms boom through its acquisition of Flensburger Fahrzeugbau Gesellschaft. In contrast, Zalando's stock saw a significant decrease after its largest insider purchase, driven by Danish billionaire Anders Holch Povlsen increasing his stake by €15 million.

Povlsen's purchases came after Zalando had cut its earnings forecast for the year, causing a 13% drop in the stock. Analysts still see potential in Zalando, with 21 out of 27 recommending buying it, with a target price of over €35 in the next 12 months. Other notable insider purchases in August include Alzchem, where eight out of nine analysts recommend buying, with an average target price of €204, and Aumovio, where eight out of eleven analysts recommend buying, with an average target price of €53.40.

SAP also had notable insider purchases, with two executives buying shares for €570,000, and analysts suggest a potential upside of 10% above the current price. Overall, 49 companies reported insider stock purchases to the German financial regulator Bafin in August, an increase of two compared to July, while 17 companies reported insider sales.
