Context
Grants to directors are commonly compensation-related (e.g., restricted stock or RSUs) and may be subject to vesting or transfer restrictions; they differ from purchases or sales and do not necessarily indicate immediate buying/selling sentiment. For retail investors, cash purchases by insiders are often viewed as stronger signals than compensation awards.
