Context
Sales executed under a Rule 10b5-1 plan are pre‑arranged and often scheduled in advance, so they may reflect planned portfolio management rather than a change in the insider’s view of the company. Retail investors should treat routine insider sales differently from purchases, which are generally considered a stronger signal of confidence.
