Key Details
- Transaction dates and prices:
- 2026-03-02: Sold 30,680 @ $74.07 = $2,272,348
- 2026-03-04: Sold 9,670 @ weighted avg $75.19 (range $75.1477–$75.6468) = $727,072 (footnote F2)
- 2026-03-06: Sold 13,000 @ $75.00 = $975,056
- Total: 53,350 shares sold for ~$3,974,476.
- Shares owned after transaction: The Form 4 does not state a precise post‑sale total. The filing notes (F1) beneficial ownership of 64,250 Class A shares held by Wincrest Ventures, LP (which Mr. Watson may be deemed to control).
- Footnotes of note:
- F1 explains the 64,250 Class A shares are held by Wincrest Ventures and that Watson may be deemed the beneficial owner due to his control of that entity; he disclaims ownership beyond any pecuniary interest.
- F2 clarifies the 3/4/26 price was a weighted average from multiple trades.
- Timeliness: The Form 4 was filed on 2026-03-06 and reports a sale on 2026-03-02; because Form 4s are generally due within two business days of the transaction, the 3/2 trade appears to have been reported late.
Context
- These were straight sales (transaction code S) — not option exercises, awards, or gifts — so there's no immediate complexity like cashless exercise to explain. As with most insider sales, this filing is factual disclosure of dispositions and should not be interpreted alone as a definitive signal about company prospects.
