Context
These were sales (routine tax-withholding and automatic 10b5-1 plan executions), which are common for executives when RSUs vest or under pre-arranged plans and do not, by themselves, indicate management’s future view of the company. Retail investors who track insider activity often weigh purchases more heavily than routine sales.
