No. The filing shows a Form 4 code F transaction, meaning 4,828 shares were withheld by the issuer to satisfy tax liabilities. This is a non-market disposition and does not represent Keith Owes choosing to sell shares into the market.

What does transaction code F mean in the BLFY Form 4 for Keith Owes?

Transaction code F indicates a disposition where shares are delivered to the issuer to pay an exercise price or satisfy tax obligations. In this case, 4,828 Blue Foundry shares were withheld specifically to cover taxes, not sold through a voluntary market transaction.

Does the Keith Owes Form 4 suggest a change in sentiment on BLFY stock?

The Form 4 reflects a tax-withholding event, not a voluntary buy or sell decision. Shares were withheld to satisfy tax liabilities tied to equity compensation, so it is generally viewed as an administrative transaction rather than a signal of changing sentiment on Blue Foundry Bancorp.
