Does following Delta Air Lines’s insiders pay?
From February 10, 2010 to October 30, 2026, 37 insiders reported 56 open-market purchases and 293 sales not made under a pre-set plan in Delta Air Lines. Twelve months after each purchase was reported, the shares were +13.2% against the S&P 500 on average (median +4.3%), over 56 purchases with a full year of prices; 52% beat the index. After sales, the shares moved +4.8% 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 May 4, 2012 into $75,222 by November 2, 2026, +15.0% a year. It held shares 96% of the time; the S&P 500 on those same days, with Treasury bills otherwise, made $66,202 (+14.0% a year), and held throughout $70,939 (+14.5%).

When several insiders traded Delta Air Lines
Months when 2 or more insiders became net buyers, or 3 or more net sellers, of Delta Air Lines 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 7 buying crowds with six months of prices, it averaged +12.7% against the index. After 21 selling crowds, +2.9%. One company's history is too short to judge by; the test across every company is the better guide.
