  • Transaction date: February 24, 2026; Form 4 filed February 26, 2026 (filed within the normal two-business-day window).
  • Total shares sold: 55,702; total proceeds ≈ $35.3M.
  • Price details: reported prices are weighted averages; the filing includes footnote ranges showing individual trades occurred roughly between ~$629.53 and ~$638.46 per share (see footnotes F2–F10 for per-lot ranges).
  • 10b5-1 plan: Footnote F1 states the sales were executed under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted November 25, 2025 (pre‑planned trading).

Context

  • Sales executed under a 10b5-1 plan are pre‑arranged and typically reflect planned dispositions (e.g., diversification or liquidity) rather than active timing of market moves. For retail investors, purchases by insiders tend to carry more interpretive weight than routine sales.
  • All prices reported are weighted averages across multiple trades; the filer offers to disclose the number of shares sold at each specific price on request to the SEC or issuer.
