Does following PayPal’s insiders pay?
From August 7, 2015 to June 16, 2026, 18 insiders reported 12 open-market purchases and 24 sales not made under a pre-set plan in PayPal. Twelve months after each purchase was reported, the shares were −28.4% against the S&P 500 on average (median −26.5%), over 11 purchases with a full year of prices; 9% beat the index. After sales, the shares moved +3.7% 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 December 12, 2017 into $5,349 by November 2, 2026, −6.8% a year. It held shares 41% of the time; the S&P 500 on those same days, with Treasury bills otherwise, made $12,962 (+3.0% a year), and held throughout $32,546 (+14.2%).

When several insiders traded PayPal
Months when 2 or more insiders became net buyers, or 3 or more net sellers, of PayPal 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 1 buying crowd with six months of prices, it averaged −45.9% against the index. After 1 selling crowd, −40.5%. One company's history is too short to judge by; the test across every company is the better guide.
| Month | Crowd | 3 months on, vs S&P 500 | 6 months | 12 months |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| November 28, 2025 | 3 selling | −25.9% | −40.5% | not yet |
| November 30, 2021 | 2 buying | −38.8% | −45.9% | −48.4% |
