Context
RSUs are a compensation award that converts into actual shares only upon vesting; they are not an immediate cash purchase or sale and don't necessarily indicate near-term buying or selling intent. For retail investors, award grants are common for directors and executives as part of compensation and should be viewed differently than open-market purchases (which can be a more direct bullish signal).
