The disclosure arrives as shares trade at $117.250, marking a strong 5.621% rise.The filing identifies Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC as the broker for the proposed transaction, with the sale scheduled for 13 August 2026. The shares were originally acquired from the issuer as restricted stock on 31 January 2022.

Is the Latest Sale Part of a Wider Trend?

The proposed disposal follows several transactions disclosed by Eisen during recent months. The filing records multiple sales of 6,000 shares, alongside larger disposals, including 41,000 shares on 5 August, 141,000 shares on 15 July, 36,000 shares on 2 July, and 135,750 shares on 1 June 2026.

What Should Investors Watch?
