Insights

Corporate Governance Specialist

Insider sale via a documented 10b5-1 plan; ownership remains material.

The director sold 625 shares at $147.9 on 10/06/2025 under a 10b5-1 plan adopted on 02/03/2025, which provides an affirmative defense to insider trading claims when properly implemented.

Remaining holdings show continued alignment: 10,113 shares direct and 1,876 indirect by trust. Watch for additional scheduled plan disclosures or further Form 4 filings within the next quarter if the plan contains ongoing sales.

Equity Markets Analyst

Transaction size is modest relative to typical director stakes but is price-sensitive.

A sale of 625 shares is a discrete liquidity event; the filing documents the sale price and that it occurred under a pre-existing plan, which reduces signal strength about private information.

Investors tracking insider activity should note the exact price $147.9 and the plan adoption 02/03/2025; any repeat filings at similar prices could indicate systematic disposition timing over the coming months.
