• Officer Plans $10.8M Share Sale

  Joseph E. Gilliam, an officer, filed Form 144 to sell 60,000 shares worth approximately $10.78 million, acquired via same-day option exercise.

• Sale Near 52-Week High

  The planned sale comes with the stock at $182.235, just below the 52-week high of $184.00, following a 50% YoY revenue surge and raised guidance.

• Part of Ongoing Insider Distribution

  This is the latest in a series of insider sales over the past 90 days, with net open-market sales of $6.0 million by two insiders prior to this filing.

• Discretionary Sale, Not Pre-Planned

  No 10b5-1 plan is indicated, meaning the sale is at the officer's discretion, which can be a stronger signal than automated sales.

Officer Joseph E. Gilliam filed to sell 60,000 shares worth approximately $10.8 million, acquired via same-day option exercise. The sale represents about 0.1% of outstanding shares and comes as the stock trades near its 52-week high of $184.00, following a strong Q2 earnings beat and raised guidance. While the dollar amount is significant, the percentage of market cap is modest, and the sale is part of a pattern of insider distribution over the past 90 days. The filing does not indicate a 10b5-1 plan, so this is a discretionary sale, which carries more weight than a pre-planned transaction.
