Context
These were open-market sales (not option exercises, gifts, or awards). Sales by insiders can be for many reasons (diversification, liquidity, planned programs); they are not by themselves evidence of company outlook. The filing’s disclosure of weighted-average prices and price ranges is standard when multiple trades occur at different prices.
