Analysis
A trust associated with a former board member of VIAVI SOLUTIONS INC. has filed a Form 144 indicating intent to sell approximately $2.7 million worth of common stock.

Investors should note this continued selling pressure from insiders, especially in a week with an unusually high volume of filings.
