As noted in a few comments below already there are risks still.
Immediate execution isn't always possible due to the processing time of shares to your brokerage account and then execution of the trade, but also if your company grants the ESPP shares and it coincides with a black-out period. This adds to the risk you might be taking on.
Still usually an amazing return for the time/effort required, but caution all around.
- op00to 4y agoI've never had an ESPP purchase coincide with a black-out period. If it does, that's pretty shitty of your employer.
- TSUTiger 4y agoBe a financial insider, be subjected to black-out periods. It's typical.
- darkwizard42 4y agoCan confirm this happened at Lyft multiple times. Obviously it is possible for the employer to avoid this, but it is no guarantee.
