Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: A routine insider dividend reinvestment purchase added 71 shares, raising direct holdings to 22,614.

The disclosed transaction is a small, non-derivative purchase dated 08/08/2025 executed via automatic dividend reinvestment at $27.2414 per share. For a publicly filed Form 4, this is a standard disclosure of an incremental increase in insider holdings rather than a strategic open-market acquisition. The filing shows no sales, option exercises, or material changes to ownership concentration. Given the transaction size and the absence of additional disclosures, the immediate market impact is likely minimal.
