Does following Air Products’s insiders pay?
From February 22, 2011 to May 4, 2026, 33 insiders reported 28 open-market purchases and 80 sales not made under a pre-set plan in Air Products. Twelve months after each purchase was reported, the shares were +4.2% against the S&P 500 on average (median +1.0%), over 28 purchases with a full year of prices; 61% beat the index. After sales, the shares moved −2.0% 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 August 8, 2011 into $64,099 by November 2, 2026, +13.0% a year. It held shares 63% of the time; the S&P 500 on those same days, with Treasury bills otherwise, made $46,484 (+10.6% a year), and held throughout $87,956 (+15.4%).

When several insiders traded Air Products
Months when 2 or more insiders became net buyers, or 3 or more net sellers, of Air Products in reports dated in the 91 days before the month end, and how the stock did against the S&P 500 from that month end. After the 5 buying crowds with six months of prices, it averaged +4.9% against the index. After 9 selling crowds, −1.4%. One company's history is too short to judge by; the test across every company is the better guide.
