John Wiley & Sons, Inc. insider trading
Every open-market purchase and sale by John Wiley & Sons, Inc.'s officers, directors and largest shareholders since November 4, 2021, and what the share price did next.
Does following John Wiley & Sons, Inc.’s insiders pay?
From January 4, 2010 to July 2, 2025, 39 insiders reported 10 open-market purchases and 200 sales not made under a pre-set plan in John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Twelve months after each purchase was reported, the shares were −0.8% against the S&P 500 on average (median +7.5%), over 10 purchases with a full year of prices; 50% beat the index. After sales, the shares moved −10.1% 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 October 3, 2011 into $19,707 by November 2, 2026, +4.6% a year. It held shares 21% of the time; the S&P 500 on those same days, with Treasury bills otherwise, made $26,769 (+6.8% a year), and held throughout $89,358 (+15.7%).
