📄 Summary

Rothka John, Chief Accounting Officer at Core Natural Resources, Inc. (CNR), sold 2,000 shares on October 8–9, 2025, at an average price of $97.50, realizing proceeds of about ~$195,000. After the transaction, he now holds 9,307 shares (including 828 unvested restricted stock units) and no indirect holdings. For retail traders, this is a neutral-to-slightly bearish event: automated plan sales, modest size relative to prior holdings.

🔑 Interpretation

  • Type: Comp-related (executed pursuant to a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan adopted March 24, 2025)
  • Disposition: Shares were sold as executed under the 10b5-1 plan (automatic disposition, not a discretionary open-market timing decision)
  • Size Context: The sale of 2,000 shares represents roughly ~18% of the pre-sale position (pre-sale implied ~11,307 shares). It's a meaningful but not controlling reduction — consistent with scheduled profit-taking rather than a full divestiture.
  • ATH Metric: I could not fetch live all-time high/low data in this filing. The trades executed at $95.00 and $100.00 (VWAP $97.50). Relative to recent trading, these prices are not obviously at extreme all-time highs or lows and do not, on their face, suggest opportunistic timing around ATH/ATL levels.
  • Outlier Check: Not unusually large given the size of the position and presence of a 10b5-1 plan; no historical cluster activity presented in this filing to indicate an outlier.

📊 Bullish or Bearish?

Neutral → Slightly Bearish

Neutral → Slightly Bearish. A scheduled 10b5-1 sale of 2,000 shares reduces insider holdings but is pre-planned (reducing the negative signal). The filing shows net sales (codes "S") executed under a plan; without multiple insiders selling or discretionary sales, the signal is muted and not strongly bearish. Cluster activity cannot be determined from this filing alone.

✅ Bottom Line (Retail Takeaway)

This transaction looks like routine profit-taking executed under a 10b5-1 plan rather than a discretionary bearish signal. For retail traders, it’s noise, not a tradeable event — not worth short-/mid-term action unless corroborated by coordinated sales from the CEO, CFO, or multiple insiders.
