Context

• This was an automatic sell-to-cover tied to RSU vesting (tax withholding), which is a common administrative transaction and does not necessarily reflect the insider’s view on the company’s prospects. Purchases by insiders generally carry more weight as signals of confidence than routine sell-to-cover transactions.
