• Transaction date: 2026-04-01; Price: $47.71 per share; Shares sold: 2,400; Total proceeds: $114,504.
• Transaction reported on Form 4 filed 2026-04-03 — appears timely (filed within the typical 2-business-day window).

Context

• A 10b5-1 plan lets insiders sell shares according to a pre-set plan and is commonly used to avoid accusations of trading on inside information; such sales are often routine and not a direct signal of company prospects.
• For retail investors, purchases generally carry more informational weight than routine sales; this single, planned sale should be viewed as part of normal insider liquidity rather than a standalone endorsement or warning.
