• Neutral Sentiment: Institutional positioning: Several hedge funds and institutions have recent activity (new positions and increases), so ownership remains concentrated among institutions (~60%), which can amplify moves in either direction. MarketBeat SE Institutional Holdings
• Negative Sentiment: Large director selling: Director David Y. Ma executed very large sales (164,033 shares at ~ $89.29 and 176,719 shares at ~ $87.56), generating roughly $30M+ in proceeds across filings and materially reducing his stake—this large block selling is a negative signal for confidence and liquidity.
