Genius Group shares surge 13.18% intraday on insider buying and strategic developments including Genius City Bali partnership.

Genius Group surged 13.18% intraday following the release of Diamond Equity Research’s update note, which highlighted aggressive insider buying by CEO Roger Hamilton and board members, signaling strong management confidence. The report emphasized Hamilton’s recent purchase of 200,000 shares at $0.86 and cumulative insider acquisitions of 1.35 million shares since June 2025, alongside ongoing share buybacks reducing public float. Additionally, the firm noted strategic progress in Genius City Bali, including the appointment of award-winning Inspiral Architects to design the project, positioning it as a scalable prototype for global expansion. The research underscored alignment between management and shareholders through direct registration system adoption and insider accumulation, reinforcing conviction in the company’s long-term vision. While a separate class-action lawsuit alleging manipulative trading by Citadel and Virtu emerged on the same day, the immediate price reaction aligned with the positive catalysts from the Diamond Equity report.
