Insights

Insider transactions analyst

Routine tax withholding; no open-market sale.

The filing discloses a Code F transaction, which indicates shares were withheld to satisfy tax obligations tied to restricted stock vesting. The amount was 4,051 shares at $16.7 on 10/11/2025.

Because this is administrative withholding, it does not represent discretionary selling pressure. Post-transaction holdings are 369,612 shares held directly. Actual market impact is typically minimal for such events.
