Context
- This was a vesting event (PSUs/RSUs) with shares withheld for taxes (routine administrative action), not a discretionary sale or open-market trade. For retail investors, purchases or open-market sales by insiders can signal sentiment; tax withholding on vesting is standard and does not itself indicate buying or selling intent.
