Context Tax-withholding by an insider after RSU vesting is a common, administrative action (often called a "sell-to-cover" or net share settlement) and does not necessarily indicate the insider is reducing their economic exposure by choice. It differs from an intentional open-market sale, which can be more informative about sentiment.
