A director and major pre-IPO investor signaling a large sale after a period of heavy insider selling is a bearish signal, especially given the stock's recent run-up. Monitor for actual execution and any subsequent Form 4 filings. The 93% analyst bullishness may be at odds with insider behavior — consider taking profits or hedging exposure.
