Does following Zebra Technologies’s insiders pay?
From February 12, 2010 to August 11, 2026, 33 insiders reported 22 open-market purchases and 247 sales not made under a pre-set plan in Zebra Technologies. Twelve months after each purchase was reported, the shares were +14.7% against the S&P 500 on average (median +6.9%), over 19 purchases with a full year of prices; 74% beat the index. After sales, the shares moved +7.2% 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 February 22, 2011 into $44,733 by November 2, 2026, +10.0% a year. It held shares 49% of the time; the S&P 500 on those same days, with Treasury bills otherwise, made $27,734 (+6.7% a year), and held throughout $75,597 (+13.8%).

When several insiders traded Zebra Technologies
Months when 2 or more insiders became net buyers, or 3 or more net sellers, of Zebra Technologies 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 2 buying crowds with six months of prices, it averaged −21.8% against the index. After 13 selling crowds, +1.2%. One company's history is too short to judge by; the test across every company is the better guide.
