Context
Dividend-equivalent share credits on RSUs are a routine element of equity compensation (they convert dividends on unvested RSUs into additional shares) and are not the same as a market purchase or sale. Such awards are generally administrative/compensation-related and should not be interpreted on their own as a bullish or bearish signal.
