This Schedule 13D/A filing reveals a continuation of significant insider buying by entities associated with directors Eli Casdin and Keith Meister. The acquisition of an additional $21.45 million in shares, representing over 1.5% of the company's market capitalization, demonstrates strong conviction. This is particularly notable as these purchases occurred in the days following the company's Q1 earnings report, which included a larger-than-expected net loss and a reduction in full-year revenue guidance. The sustained accumulation by these key insiders, despite recent negative news, suggests a belief in the company's long-term prospects and could be interpreted as a vote of confidence.
