Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-05-03; Filing date: 2026-05-06.
• Shares disposed/withheld: 268 at $103.52 each; total value reported $27,743.

Context

• This was a tax-withholding disposition (shares surrendered/withheld to cover taxes), which is routine following option exercises or vesting and is different from an open-market sale. Such withholdings are administrative and do not necessarily signal a change in the insider’s view of the company.
