Positive

  • Trade executed under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, indicating the sale was pre-arranged
  • Full disclosure of price and post-sale holdings (550 shares at $122.82; 80,548 direct ownership)

Negative

  • Insider reduced direct holdings by 550 shares on 10/06/2025
  • Indirect holdings remain (389 shares held by spouse), which maintains some family exposure but concentrates voting influence

Insights

Small planned sale by a senior officer; governance disclosure is clear.

The filing shows a 550-share sale executed on 10/06/2025 at $122.82 per share and explicitly indicates the transaction was pursuant to a written plan under Rule 10b5-1. That checkbox provides a formal affirmative defense that the trade was pre-planned rather than opportunistic.

The transaction reduced direct holdings to 80,548 shares with 389 shares held indirectly by a spouse. Monitor routine Form 4 activity in the next 30-90 days for additional planned-plan sales or any changes to insider ownership patterns.

Trade size is immaterial to market capitalization but is transparently reported.

The sale of 550 shares is small relative to typical public float and is unlikely to move market price; the filing discloses exact price and post-trade ownership counts which aid liquidity and float calculations. The presence of a 10b5-1 plan reduces the likelihood the sale signals private adverse information.

Investors focused on insider trends should compare cumulative Form 4s over a 90-day window to spot any meaningful pattern in insider selling or buying.
