Context
An "A" code on Form 4 indicates the insider was granted shares or units (e.g., restricted stock or performance-based awards); such grants are typically part of compensation and don't necessarily reflect immediate buying or selling interest. For retail investors, awards are less of a direct bullish signal than open-market purchases, but they are useful to track executive compensation and potential future insider selling as awards vest.
