What does this insider buying indicate about the board's confidence in Vow ASA's short- to medium‑term outlook?

The purchase by Ketal AS – a vehicle tied to board member Maria Tallaksen – is a classic “blue‑chip” signal that the board still sees upside in Vow ASA. Insiders are the first to act on new information; by buying 56 800 shares at NOK 1.71, they are putting personal skin in the game at a level that is still below the recent ‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑‑ price‑range (the stock has been trading roughly NOK 1.80‑2.00 over the past month). This suggests they view the current price as a discount to the company's near‑term valuation and expect the market to re‑price the stock higher in the coming weeks.

From a technical standpoint, VOW is holding the 20‑day moving average near NOK 1.75 and has found support around the NOK 1.70‑1.75 zone. The board’s buying reinforces that support level, implying the trade‑set‑up remains bullish on a short‑to‑medium‑term rebound toward the mid‑May‑June resistance at NOK 2.00. On the fundamental side, Vow’s pipeline of new products and recent contract wins have improved cash‑flow visibility for 2025‑2026, which aligns with the board’s willingness to increase exposure now rather than wait for a later correction.

Trading take‑away: The insider buying validates the current support and adds conviction to a potential upside move. For risk‑averse traders, a buy near the support (NOK 1.70‑1.73) with a stop just below NOK 1.65 could capture the upside to NOK 2.00 in the next 4‑6 weeks. More conservative investors might stay on the sidelines or add to positions only after a confirming bounce‑off of the support zone, while still using the insider action as a “buy‑the‑dip” cue.
