Context
- These were outright sales (S). Sales executed under 10b5-1 plans are prearranged and common for insiders to systematically monetize holdings; while they reduce insider ownership, they are not, by themselves, a clear signal about the director’s view of the company. Purchases typically carry more informational weight for signaling confidence.
