Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-02-28; Filing date: 2026-03-03 (timely filing)
• Price per share: $269.44; Shares acquired: 1.032; Total value: ~$278
• Transaction code: J (other acquisition/disposition)
• Footnote: F1 — participant-directed transaction under a 401(k) plan

Context This was a participant-directed 401(k) plan transaction, meaning the purchase was made as part of a retirement plan allocation rather than an open-market investment decision by the executive. The dollar amount is very small and generally should not be interpreted as a strong signal about the insider’s view of the company.
