The Garcia sale is large in absolute terms but only 0.16% of market cap — below the 0.5% threshold for material concern. The stock is up ~19% in the last week and ~26% in the last month, so this appears to be routine portfolio diversification at elevated prices. Monitor for any acceleration of insider selling above 0.5% of market cap in the next 30 days.
