Context
- RSU grants are a form of compensation and are subject to vesting; they do not represent an immediate cash purchase or sale and therefore do not by themselves signal insider confidence or a change in holdings until vested and/or sold.
- For retail investors: track future vesting dates if you want to monitor potential future insider selling or increases in directly held shares.
