Context
This was a routine sell-to-cover tied to RSU vesting — common for executives to fund tax obligations — and does not necessarily indicate a change in the CEO’s view of the company. Sales to cover taxes are administrative in nature; purchases typically carry more weight as signals of insider confidence.
