Does following Webtoon Entertainment Inc.’s insiders pay?
From August 15, 2024 to March 21, 2025, 4 insiders reported 6 open-market purchases and 0 sales not made under a pre-set plan in Webtoon Entertainment Inc. Twelve months after each purchase was reported, the shares were −4.8% against the S&P 500 on average (median −7.3%), over 6 purchases with a full year of prices; 33% beat the index. 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 August 16, 2024 into $7,405 by November 2, 2026, −12.8% a year. It held shares 72% of the time; the S&P 500 on those same days, with Treasury bills otherwise, made $12,321 (+10.0% a year), and held throughout $14,005 (+16.6%).
