These are routine tax-withholding sales tied to RSU vesting by the CEO and an SVP. No bearish signal — the sales are pre-arranged and de minimis relative to market cap. Monitor for any unplanned open-market sales by Jassy or other C-suite executives in the coming weeks, but this filing alone does not warrant action.
