4 sales (58% of the value sold) were made under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which is set up months in advance and runs on a schedule, so they say little about how the insider sees the stock today.

How to read insider trades
Officers, directors and owners of more than 10% of a company must report trades in its stock on SEC Form 4, usually within two business days. Purchases with their own money are the stronger signal: insiders sell for many reasons (taxes, diversification, a house), but buy for one. See every CVSA insider trade, the latest insider trades across the market, or cluster buys, when several insiders buy the same stock within days.
