NasdaqGS · Price as of · Delayed Quote
- Profitability13/20
Profitable but shrinking: $1.08B over the last four reported quarters, down from $2.00B the year before.
- Insider buying vs selling11/20
Insiders are sellers only: 5 sells worth $40.7M, no open-market buys, across the last 20 Form 4s. Routine executive selling is common, so this is only a mild negative. Separately, 1 new 5%+ stake disclosure (13D/13G) hit in the last 6 months, which is big-money accumulation.
- Dilution and offerings6/15
Share count up 3.2% in a year. Real dilution.
