Further Reading from MarketBeat Does Insider Buying Signal Value in the WD-40 Company?Written by Thomas Hughes. Published 11/17/2025. 
Key Points - WD-40 Company insiders are buying and signaling a value in this cash-producing, capital-return machine.
- Dividends are reliable, the yield is attractive, and repurchases will accelerate in F2026.
- Institutional and analyst trends align with a market bottom in Q4 2025.
Insider buying at the WD-40 Company (NASDAQ: WDFC) suggests value, as the stock trades near its long-term lows and at the low end of its historical price-to-earnings (P/E) range. While the stock currently trades at about 32x this year's earnings — a premium — that multiple reflects expectations for steady top-line growth, margin recovery, accelerating earnings, stronger cash flow, and increased capital returns. Capital returns are a critical factor in the company's value proposition: the dividend is healthy and raised annually, and share buybacks have resumed. A Historic Gold Announcement Is About to Rock Wall Street?
For months, sharp-eyed analysts have watched the quiet buildup behind the scenes. Now, in just days, the floodgates are set to open. The greatest investor of all time could validate what Garrett Goggin has been saying for months: Gold is entering a once-in-a-generation mania.

Buybacks were suspended in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and were reinstated in 2023 at a reduced pace versus prior levels. A key takeaway from the F2025 year-end report is that margin and cash-flow improvements boosted management's confidence, allowing them to accelerate buybacks. For investors, that represents a strengthening tailwind for a tightly held stock that could advance in the coming quarters and years. At the company's target annual growth rate of 5% to 9%, the stock would trade below 20x earnings by 2030 and in the low teens by 2035.  Insiders, Institutions, and Analysts Buy WDFC Stock in the Back Half of 2025 The insider activity is noteworthy. InsiderTrades tracked six purchases by six insiders within days of the year-end report and of one another. Buyers included three directors, the CEO, the CFO, and a vice president. The purchases are small — under 0.02% of the company's value — but they show broad-based support from insiders who already have stakes in the company. Insiders collectively hold roughly 0.78% of the shares, a position reinforced by strong institutional ownership. Institutional activity in 2025 rose to multi-year highs. Sellers outpaced buyers in the first half of the year when share prices were higher, then buyers outpaced sellers in the second half as prices fell, reflecting a market rotation into the stock at lower levels. The critical takeaway: institutions own more than 91% of the stock, providing a sizable support base as shares trade near historical lows. With that dynamic, it is unlikely the stock will fall substantially below the late-October/early-November lows. Q4 results were solid, and 2026 guidance appears sufficient to sustain cash flow and capital returns. Highlights from F2025 include moderate mid-single-digit revenue growth, expanding gross and operating margins, a recovery in gross margin to historical norms a year ahead of expectations, and positive cash flow despite paying dividends, increasing distributions, resuming buybacks, and reducing debt. The balance sheet showed increases in cash, current assets, and total assets alongside lower debt and liabilities, producing a 16% increase in equity. On the balance sheet, shareholder equity of roughly $268 million is nearly three times long-term debt, implying a leverage ratio of about 0.3x long-term debt and roughly 1.1x when measured against total liabilities. Analysts' Coverage Is Thin but Bullish on WDFC Stock Analyst coverage of WDFC is thin — InsiderTrades tracks only two current reports — but both were issued in the second half of 2025 and are bullish. The consensus is a Moderate Buy (one Hold and one Buy) with an average price target near $300, about 50% above recent support levels and potentially achievable within the next 12 months. Chart action is mixed. The stock remains in a downtrend and has not yet confirmed a clear bottom or reversal, but it appears close to doing so. Late-October/early-November price action shows support, and indicators are positioned to generate a fairly strong buy signal if momentum follows through. The key question is whether WDFC can clear the nearby resistance level near $205 for this consumer stock. If it does, the setup would strengthen the case for further upside.
