Insights

Equity compensation and governance analyst

Routine tax withholding on vested awards; no open‑market trading signal.

These entries show Form 4 code F transactions, which are share dispositions used to pay taxes when stock awards vest. The filing also states the shares were surrendered for taxes due to vesting on March 23, 2026, confirming they are compensation‑driven events.

Because the 5,053 shares were not sold in the open market, they carry little information about the insider’s view of Granite Construction stock. Williams still holds 13,775 shares directly, plus 8,260.8 shares indirectly via an ESOP, suggesting these are routine payroll‑style withholdings rather than strategic portfolio moves.
