  • Negative Sentiment: Multiple large director sales: Ian G. H. Ashken sold a total of 300,000 APG shares across Mar 2–4 for roughly $13.1M in proceeds (average prices ~$44.29–$42.94). Director James E. Lillie sold a total of 360,000 shares over the same period for roughly $15.7M. Combined, ~660,000 shares were sold (~$28.7M)—each trade trimmed ownership by ~1% or less, but the concentrated, consecutive selling by two directors is a clear near‑term negative signal and may weigh on sentiment and intraday trading. The filings remain consistent with planned liquidity/diversification rather than an exit (both directors continue to hold large residual positions), but the scale and timing increase short‑term supply.
