Does following Autonation, Inc.’s insiders pay?
From March 3, 2010 to August 7, 2026, 44 insiders reported 44 open-market purchases and 339 sales not made under a pre-set plan in Autonation, Inc. Twelve months after each purchase was reported, the shares were +11.5% against the S&P 500 on average (median +5.0%), over 44 purchases with a full year of prices; 77% beat the index. After sales, the shares moved +3.5% against the index over 12 months (a negative figure means selling was the right call). Buying each purchase the day after it was reported, an equal amount each, held 12 months or until that insider reported a sale, would have turned $10,000 on March 4, 2010 into $110,671 by November 2, 2026, +15.6% a year. It held shares 54% of the time; the S&P 500 on those same days, with Treasury bills otherwise, made $47,650 (+9.8% a year), and held throughout $90,213 (+14.1%).
