What changed in the last 30 days
Oct 20Officer FADY MALIK filed to sell $1.0M by Oct 20 (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.
Oct 20EVP Research & Development Malik Fady Ibraham sold $438.9K under a 10b5-1 plan (2 trades, Oct 6 to Oct 20)
Why it matters
A 10b5-1 plan schedules trades months ahead, so this says little about what the insider thinks today.
Oct 13Director ROBERT BLUM filed to sell $1.4M by Oct 12 (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.
Oct 13President & CEO Blum Robert I sold $471.6K under a 10b5-1 plan (Oct 12)
Why it matters
A 10b5-1 plan schedules trades months ahead, so this says little about what the insider thinks today.
Oct 12Rep. Gilbert Cisneros sold $1.0K to $15K, disclosed 13 days after the trade
Why it matters
House members report a bracket, not an exact amount, and have 45 days to do it; the trade is weeks old when it becomes public.
