What changed in the last 30 days
Oct 27Director Bentley Raymond B. sold $6.2M under a 10b5-1 plan (2 trades, Oct 23 to Oct 26)
Why it matters
A 10b5-1 plan schedules trades months ahead, so this says little about what the insider thinks today.
Oct 23Director Bentley Raymond B. filed to sell $67.5M by Oct 23 (Form 144)
Why it matters
A Form 144 is a notice of intent to sell; the sale may not happen, and it says nothing about the price.
