Several other execs (CFO, VP-level insiders and others) also sold smaller parcels, and some insiders reduced holdings by meaningful percentages (e.g., Kate Dehoff reduced ~9.8%).

• Negative Sentiment: Rising short interest — short interest jumped ~33.6% in January to ~75.34M shares, now ~12.2% of float. Higher shorting increases downward pressure and raises the risk of volatility around news or the upcoming earnings release (days-to-cover ~2.1). This elevated bearish positioning likely contributes to the stock’s decline today.
