Context A "sale to cover" under a 10b5-1 plan is a routine tax-withholding transaction tied to RSU vesting and is generally viewed as administrative rather than a directional bet on the stock. Retail investors typically treat such tax-related sales as less informative about insider sentiment than voluntary open-market purchases.
