• Neutral Sentiment: High insider ownership: insiders (primarily the Hayne family) still hold a large stake (~32% of shares outstanding), so sales can reflect portfolio diversification/tax planning rather than a change in operational outlook — this mutes, but does not eliminate, negative signal from selling. SEC Ownership Filing
• Negative Sentiment: CEO Richard A. Hayne sold multiple blocks (Jan. 29–30), totaling roughly ~20,670 shares across those days at ~\$70 per share — disclosed in SEC/insider filings; CEO selling, even small % moves, often weighs on sentiment. Richard A. Hayne Insider Trades
• Negative Sentiment: Margaret Hayne sold two blocks on Jan. 29–30 (~18,083 shares combined), also disclosed via SEC filings — additional insider liquidity in early Q1 increases near‑term sell pressure highlighted by market commentators. Margaret Hayne Insider Trades
