Form 144 — notice of proposed sale of securities
Actionable Insight • Neutral

The Form 144 signals intent to sell, not a completed transaction. However, the pattern of 6 insider sells in 30 days ($772K total) adds mild negative weight. Monitor for actual Form 4 filings to confirm execution. No immediate catalyst — treat as low-conviction bearish signal unless further insider sales accelerate.
