Context
This was not a market purchase but the routine vesting of RSUs and the standard cashless/net-share settlement for taxes. The conversion shows RSUs vested (acquired at $0 cost) and a portion withheld to cover tax liabilities—common practice that does not by itself indicate a buy or sell preference.
