This substantial open market sale by a director, occurring near the company's 52-week high, suggests the insider is taking profits. The sale follows a recent positive announcement of a record production order but also comes amidst a backdrop of recent financial weakness and the establishment of a new At-The-Market (ATM) equity offering.
