GONZALES KENDA B exercised 9,308 options at $7.22 and sold the resulting shares at $34.79 ($324K). The sale came from newly exercised options and did not reduce previously held shares, leaving 48,158 directly held shares.

The data shows a Form 4 Code S (open-market sale) by Principal Accounting Officer Michele A. Peppers, liquidating $483,000 worth of shares and reducing her stake by 28.1%. This is the first recorded transaction for this officer, who had no prior open-market purchase history. The sale occurred at $34.50, which is 10.4% below the 90-day high, while analyst consensus remains a Strong Buy with 6 buy ratings.

Where it could go — If the bear case holds, the stock may test the 90-day low of $29.56; the thesis is invalidated if the stock sustains above the 30-day high of $36.92.

GROSS PATRICK W exercised 21,129 options at $5.96 and sold the resulting shares at $34.98 ($128K). The sale came from newly exercised options and did not reduce previously held shares, leaving 114,970 directly held shares.

Where it could go — If this first-time officer sale pattern holds historically, the bear case would require the stock to break below the $29.56 90-day low; analyst consensus remains Strong Buy with 6 buy ratings.
