Context
These were sell-to-cover sales tied to RSU vesting (tax-related), which are routine and do not necessarily indicate a change in the insider’s view of the company. For retail investors, purchases can be more informative about insider sentiment; mandated tax-withholding sales are common and typically not interpreted as a discretionary bearish signal.
