What changed in the last 30 days
Oct 21CHIEF LEGAL OFFICER POSEY BRUCE K sold $167.0K under a 10b5-1 plan (Oct 20)
Why it matters
A 10b5-1 plan schedules trades months ahead, so this says little about what the insider thinks today.
Oct 15CEO & PRESIDENT Thakar Sumedh S sold $609.1K under a 10b5-1 plan (Oct 14)
Why it matters
A 10b5-1 plan schedules trades months ahead, so this says little about what the insider thinks today.
Oct 14Director SUMEDH THAKAR filed to sell $1.9M by Oct 14 (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.
