Context

• A Rule 10b5-1 plan lets insiders sell shares according to preset instructions and dates; sales under such plans are typically viewed as pre-planned transactions rather than real-time expressions of sentiment.
• For retail investors, purchases by insiders tend to be more informative about confidence in the company; routine sales to cover tax or diversification are common and not necessarily a negative signal.
