Context
- These were tax-withholding dispositions related to vested RSUs (a routine administrative step), not a market-directed sale that necessarily signals the insider's view of the company.
- For retail investors: purchases are generally more informative; tax-withholdings on RSUs are common and typically do not reflect active trading or a change in confidence.
