The 2022 acquisition at $13.81-$14.22 IS a meaningful discretionary buy (low price, large size relative to typical sells).

For the Summary field's primary focus (Cadence): The insider has sold at every major CDNS price regime from $155 (2022) to $381 (2026), with the exception of a small 2022 buy at $13.81-$14.22 that appears to be a strategic accumulation during a market dip. Since late-2022 the pattern has been pure sell: 2023 (4,406 at $238), 2024 (2,412 at $315), 2025 (868 at $320), 2026 (1,511 at $381). The sell sizes have actually decreased over time -- from 4,400 shares in 2023 to 1,500 in 2026 -- which may simply reflect remaining position size diminishing. The pattern is consistent with systematic diversification/portfolio rebalancing rather than company-specific bearishness. Cadence has been a strong compounder ($155→$381 over 4 years); selling high-conviction winners to fund other opportunities is standard wealth-management behavior. Mixed -- the pure sell pattern at a strong compounder like Cadence reads more like portfolio rebalancing than fundamental concern; the lone discretionary buy in 2022 (at $13.81-$14.22, 4x a typical transaction) shows opportunistic accumulation at weakness.
