Context
RSUs are awards that convert to shares if/when they vest; time-based RSUs vest on a schedule, performance RSUs vest only if performance goals are met. A "sell-to-cover" is common when insiders sell just enough shares at vesting to pay taxes and does not necessarily indicate a view on the company’s prospects.
