What does the sale signal?

The filing shows that 99,878 restricted stock units vested on October 1, while Apple withheld 49,054 shares for taxes. Ternus still held 59,567 shares after the transaction, and the pre-arranged plan was adopted on May 21, 2026, making the filing a scheduled compensation transaction rather than a stated change in operating guidance.

Revenue growth meets valuation pressure
