Context An "F" code usually means shares were withheld or transferred to satisfy taxes from an equity award or option exercise (a cashless or net-share settlement), rather than a voluntary open-market sale. Such withholding transactions are routine and generally reflect tax mechanics instead of a deliberate bet on the stock; they should not be read as a strong signal of insider sentiment.
