Insights

Insider Transactions Analyst

TL;DR: CEO’s $1.4 M planned sale sends a mildly negative insider signal

The filing shows the CEO monetising 6,775 shares (~$1.43 M) shortly after disposing of another 3,879 shares in June. Although executed under a pre-arranged Rule 10b5-1 plan and representing only about 0.06 % of shares outstanding, clustered sales by the top executive can temper investor sentiment. No offsetting insider purchases are disclosed, so net insider flow tilts negative. The sale’s size crosses the $1 M threshold often used by funds to flag potentially meaningful insider activity, warranting closer monitoring even if not definitively bearish.
