Key Details

• Transaction date and price: Feb 6, 2026 — 12,583 shares at $140.84 each.
• Total value of shares withheld: ~$1,772,190.
• Post-transaction shares owned: Not disclosed in the provided filing excerpt.

• Filing date: Feb 10, 2026. This filing appears timely (Form 4 is generally due within two business days of the transaction).

Context

• This is a routine tax-withholding event common when restricted stock units (RSUs) vest; withheld shares are used to satisfy tax withholding obligations and do not necessarily indicate a change in the insider’s view of the company.
• For investors, purchases or open-market sales tend to be more informative about insider sentiment than tax-related withholdings.
