The sale represents a 2.20% decrease in ownership for Director Ita M Brennan, who sold 180 shares in the last three months [2].

The stock has a market capitalization of $98.58 billion, a P/E ratio of 97.78, and a beta of 1.00 [1]. Despite the mixed analyst ratings and the recent sale by Director Ita M Brennan, the company's strong financial performance and positive institutional investor sentiment may provide a favorable outlook for the stock.
