Context
Grants to directors are commonly part of regular compensation (e.g., restricted stock or RSUs) and do not reflect an open-market buy or sell. Such awards are informative about compensation practices but are not a direct bullish or bearish trading signal in the way purchases or sales can be. If you want to assess insider sentiment, look for purchases or sales in addition to recurring compensation grants.
