Does following Ciena’s insiders pay?
From January 4, 2010 to September 28, 2026, 17 insiders reported 1 open-market purchase and 44 sales not made under a pre-set plan in Ciena. Twelve months after each purchase was reported, the shares were +40.5% against the S&P 500 on average (median +40.5%), over 1 purchase with a full year of prices; 100% beat the index. After sales, the shares moved −5.7% against the index over 12 months (a negative figure means selling was the right call). That rests on fewer than 20 purchases, too few to read much into. 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 October 16, 2014 into $14,348 by November 2, 2026, +3.0% a year. It held shares 1% of the time; the S&P 500 on those same days, with Treasury bills otherwise, made $14,383 (+3.1% a year), and held throughout $49,561 (+14.3%).
