Context

• This is a tax-withholding/cashless-type disposition tied to an equity award or option exercise, which is common and typically reflects tax settlement rather than a vote of confidence or a market-timing sale. Purchases by insiders tend to be more informative about bullish conviction; tax withholdings are routine and should be interpreted accordingly.
