Paul Alpern, a VP at Arteris, just sold $3,240 worth of the company's common stock. It's a relatively small transaction, but insider sales can sometimes hint at how executives feel about their company's future—or just reflect personal financial planning.

Editor’s Note: Insider stock sales like this aren't always a red flag—executives sell shares for all sorts of reasons, from diversifying investments to covering personal expenses. But since insiders have the clearest view of a company's health, even small moves can catch investors' attention. For Arteris, this sale is more of a footnote than a headline, but it's worth noting in the broader context of how leadership is managing their stakes.
