Key Details

• Transaction date and price: 2026-03-30, 3,855 shares at $151.62 each.
• Total value: roughly $584,495.
• Shares owned after transaction: not specified in the filing.
• Footnote (F1): Includes 21.53 shares acquired June 2025–February 2026 via the issuer’s dividend reinvestment plan and 194 shares acquired June–December 2025 via the issuer’s employee stock purchase plan.

Context

• Transaction code F means shares were surrendered to cover an exercise price or tax obligation (commonly used after option exercises or vesting events). This is a routine administrative transaction to satisfy taxes and is not the same as an open-market sale or a purchase signal. For retail investors, these withholding disposals are generally less informative about insider sentiment than outright purchases.
