• Neutral Sentiment: Summary: Company insiders (two executives and one other insider) sold a combined ~49,200 shares across March 16–25, 2026, representing roughly a half‑million dollars at ~ $10/share. The sales reduced individual insiders’ stakes by mostly small percentages (generally <1%), and each insider still holds a substantial position — suggesting these may be personal liquidity/diversification moves rather than a vote of no confidence.

Repeated sales by a large insider can pressure sentiment even if each trade is small. Lovissotto SEC Filing
