Does following Northrop Grumman’s insiders pay?
From March 15, 2010 to February 20, 2026, 36 insiders reported 8 open-market purchases and 123 sales not made under a pre-set plan in Northrop Grumman. Twelve months after each purchase was reported, the shares were +12.9% against the S&P 500 on average (median +13.1%), over 8 purchases with a full year of prices; 75% beat the index. After sales, the shares moved +17.4% 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 May 23, 2011 into $30,269 by November 2, 2026, +7.5% a year. It held shares 22% of the time; the S&P 500 on those same days, with Treasury bills otherwise, made $20,978 (+4.9% a year), and held throughout $75,139 (+14.0%).

When several insiders traded Northrop Grumman

After 14 selling crowds, +2.9%. One company's history is too short to judge by; the test across every company is the better guide.
