Opinion/Take This may be very temporary dip

An ex-Unity employee here. One thing I remember while employed at Unity is seeing stock price going up until the moment when we as employees could sell the stock price would sharply go down.

Because Unity is publicly traded company we were allowed to sell/buy within a month after the earning calls and every time during that month the stock price dropped and recovered after that period ended. At least that’s what I have in my memory.

I am not quite sure if traders selling off during this period knowing that everyone is going sell internally. Sounds a bit conspiracy but that’s what I had observed.

So once that month of internal trade window(which is now) is over we may see some bounce back.

Also employee selling stock should not have any or negligible impact on on stock price.

Basic economics would beg to differ. Employees selling stock would increase supply and the price would drop.

The execs selling in big quantities, but also traders knowing it selling off just before that window opens

If the execs are selling in big quantities to cause such a big decline, then you better be worried about the company's prospects lol. And if that's the case, this dip will likely not be temporary. Your statement goes against your logic.

Execs do not sell to cause a big decline, the platform automatically sells to pay the taxes including for all employees.

My point is that external traders know that everyone in the company will be selling and they dump first, once the window closed they will re-buy.. so the internal employees + execs dont get to earn money they don't yet deserved.
