Context

• These are scheduled/open-market sales and include trades under a 10b5-1 plan, which commonly reflect pre-arranged selling rather than an immediate change in sentiment. Sales reduce insider holdings but, by themselves, do not necessarily signal company prospects. Purchases generally carry more weight for indicating insider confidence.
