Context
Sales to cover tax withholding on vested RSUs are routine administrative transactions and do not necessarily indicate a change in the insider's view of the company. For retail investors, purchases by insiders typically carry more weight as a bullish signal; routine tax-withholding sales are common and often unrelated to company performance.
