Traders should monitor for follow-on selling and assess whether this reflects profit-taking after a run-up or a loss of confidence. The heavy selling by Famatown Finance Ltd — a major holder — is particularly notable and may signal reduced conviction at a time when executives are receiving grants but not buying shares.
