Recommendation

hold

While the sale by a former 10% owner is a negative signal, the amount sold (60,000 shares) is relatively small compared to the remaining 8.265 million shares still indirectly held by Cormorant. This could be a routine portfolio adjustment rather than a complete loss of confidence. Investors should hold and monitor future filings and company performance for clearer directional signals.
