Most of the selling was pre-scheduled: 8 of the 8 sales (100.0%) were flagged as Rule 10b5-1 plan trades, which are set up in advance and say less about an insider's current view than discretionary sales.

The average open-market sale price was $244.45; the last close of $288.90 is 18.2% above that level, so sellers left upside on the table. The single largest trade was a sale of 1,000 shares worth $234.2K on 2026-02-06. Since the most recent filing the stock has moved +38.2%, from $209.11.
