• Neutral Sentiment: Institutional flow notes show modest portfolio changes by small managers; overall institutional ownership remains high (~80%), but recent reported buys/sells are too small to materially shift supply/demand. MarketBeat institutional flow summary
• Negative Sentiment: Insider selling: CFO Elinor Mertz sold 3,750 shares (and has made several small sales this winter). While routine and not large relative to total float, repeated insider sales can be read negatively by some investors. CFO insider sale filing
