Open-market purchases by directors are often seen by retail investors as a positive signal, since the insider is acquiring company stock with personal funds. This filing is purely buys — not sales or option exercises — and totals roughly $1.15 million. As always, insider purchases are one data point; consider company fundamentals and other news before making investment decisions.
