What to Watch

Investors should keep an eye on whether other executives continue to sell or if the recent buying by directors like Zambelli suggests a shift in sentiment. The upcoming October earnings report will be the next major catalyst for the stock. While insider trades can offer clues about how management feels, these filings only show past moves and don't necessarily predict where the stock is headed next.
