Context

• This was a tax-withholding sale tied to RSU settlement (a routine administrative step) rather than a market-timed sale expressing a change in sentiment. For retail investors, purchases and open-market buys can be more informative about insider confidence; tax-related disposals are common and do not necessarily signal a view on company prospects.
