Context This is institutional insider activity by a 10% owner (Prudential and its insurance subsidiaries), not an executive officer or director. Institutional purchases can reflect portfolio or balance-sheet decisions by the firm’s insurance affiliates and are factual signals of buying activity but should not be taken alone as a forecast of company performance.
