Does following Freshpet, Inc.’s insiders pay?
From April 30, 2015 to September 16, 2026, 29 insiders reported 48 open-market purchases and 128 sales not made under a pre-set plan in Freshpet, Inc. Twelve months after each purchase was reported, the shares were +15.5% against the S&P 500 on average (median −2.1%), over 40 purchases with a full year of prices; 43% beat the index. After sales, the shares moved +18.7% 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 17, 2015 into $28,522 by November 2, 2026, +9.8% a year. It held shares 82% of the time; the S&P 500 on those same days, with Treasury bills otherwise, made $36,630 (+12.3% a year), and held throughout $43,193 (+14.0%).
