Does following NRG Energy’s insiders pay?
From May 14, 2010 to March 4, 2026, 24 insiders reported 25 open-market purchases and 31 sales not made under a pre-set plan in NRG Energy. Twelve months after each purchase was reported, the shares were +20.6% against the S&P 500 on average (median +30.2%), over 25 purchases with a full year of prices; 76% beat the index. After sales, the shares moved −12.0% 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 May 10, 2012 into $49,049 by November 2, 2026, +11.6% a year. It held shares 49% of the time; the S&P 500 on those same days, with Treasury bills otherwise, made $23,771 (+6.2% a year), and held throughout $71,450 (+14.6%).
