Analysis
Dennis Mulroy, an officer at AnaptysBio, has filed a Form 144 indicating intent to sell an additional $1.15 million worth of common stock. This follows a pattern of significant sales by Mulroy, totaling over $8.8 million in the past three months, and comes shortly after the company announced a $100 million share repurchase program. The consistent selling by a key officer, particularly after exercising options, suggests a lack of conviction at current price levels and contrasts with the company's stated intent to buy back shares.
