Context RSU grants are a form of compensation; the award itself is neither a buy nor sell signal. The subsequent open-market sales were explicitly to satisfy tax-withholding obligations associated with vesting (a routine administrative sale), not an independent investment decision. Purchases are typically more informative about insider conviction than routine sales done for tax or liquidity reasons.
