Key Details
- Transaction date: July 1, 2026; Form 4 filed July 6, 2026 (filed 5 calendar days after the trades; typically due within 2 business days — appears late).
- Total shares sold: 8,000; Total proceeds: ~$1.34 million; Approx. weighted-average price: $167.06/share.
- Reported price ranges (per footnotes): individual transactions ranged roughly from $161.44 to $170.41. Several line items list weighted-average prices with ranges and the filer offers to provide per-price breakdown on request.
- Footnotes: F1 indicates the sales were made under a Rule 10b5‑1 plan entered June 12, 2025. Other footnotes (F2–F11) explain weighted-average pricing across multiple executions; F3 notes some shares are held in a family trust.
- Shares owned after the transaction: not specified in this filing.
Context
- A 10b5‑1 plan means these were pre-scheduled trades and are often considered routine, not a direct signal of the insider’s current view of the company.
- Sales by directors are common for diversification or liquidity; purchases generally carry more informational weight for bullish signals.
- If you track insider activity, note the apparent late filing — regulators require timely reporting and late filings may attract scrutiny.
