Does following Williams Companies’s insiders pay?
From March 2, 2010 to August 17, 2026, 43 insiders reported 42 open-market purchases and 90 sales not made under a pre-set plan in Williams Companies. Twelve months after each purchase was reported, the shares were −3.3% against the S&P 500 on average (median −6.9%), over 42 purchases with a full year of prices; 43% beat the index. After sales, the shares moved +2.0% 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 March 17, 2010 into $43,437 by November 2, 2026, +9.3% a year. It held shares 63% of the time; the S&P 500 on those same days, with Treasury bills otherwise, made $55,168 (+10.8% a year), and held throughout $86,777 (+13.9%).

When several insiders traded Williams Companies
Months when 2 or more insiders became net buyers, or 3 or more net sellers, of Williams Companies 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 7 buying crowds with six months of prices, it averaged −3.8% against the index. After 9 selling crowds, −7.4%. One company's history is too short to judge by; the test across every company is the better guide.
