Context
- This appears to be routine settlement of vested restricted stock (RSUs/PSUs) with shares withheld to cover tax obligations, followed by open-market sales of the remaining vested shares — a common cashless settlement and liquidity action by executives.
- Sales are not, by themselves, a clear bullish or bearish signal; they often reflect tax withholding or diversification/liquidity needs.
