Director at Plug Power Inc. No open-market purchases and 14 sales not made under a pre-set plan, reported from January 24, 2014 to September 27, 2017.

What happened after Air Liquide Investissements D'avenir Et De Demonstration’s sales?

After their sales, the shares moved −73.2% against the index over 12 months on average (a negative figure means selling was the right call); 100% trailed it.

“Average vs S&P 500” is the stock’s return including dividends minus the index’s over the same dates, from the close on the first trading day after the report, or from the close on the trade date. Only windows that have finished are counted. For sales, a negative figure means the stock lagged after it was sold, so selling was the right call (green). “Went the right way” is the share of purchases that beat the index, or of sales that trailed it. The t-statistic uses one average per year of reports, because one person’s trades bunch into the same stock and weeks, and needs trades in at least four different years; the p-value comes from the t distribution with that number of years (with four years, a t of 2 has p = 0.14). “Some evidence” means p under 5%, “strong evidence” p under 1% over at least six years.
