How does the size of this transaction compare to Polk's historical sales?
This sale of 17,500 shares is nearly six times the median of prior open-market sales (3,000 shares) by Dennis Polk. The transaction represented 36.0% of Polk's direct holdings immediately before the event on October 9, 2025, well above the recent median of 5.49% for his sell trades from January 17, 2024 to October 9, 2025.
What is the context and intention behind this transaction?
The filing indicates the sale resulted from the exercise of 17,500 stock options, with shares immediately sold. This is a typical administrative event for option holders and does not represent a discretionary market sale of long-held stock.
What impact does this transaction have on Polk's remaining position?
Following the October 9, 2025 transaction, Polk's direct ownership decreased to 31,117 shares, or 0.0375% of outstanding shares. With just 11.4% of his October 2022 direct holdings remaining, Polk's capacity for future large-scale sales is structurally limited.
How does the pricing of the transaction relate to recent market levels?
The weighted average sale price was $156.50 per share on October 9, 2025. As of October 10, 2025, the stock was priced at $151.64, reflecting a 31.1% total return for the 12 months ending October 9, 2025.
