While all buyers are passive managers (suggesting possible index rebalancing or ETF flows rather than active conviction), the scale of buying — especially Morgan Stanley’s $252.6M add — signals strong underlying demand. Traders should monitor for follow-on active manager interest and potential float tightening, especially if insider or fundamental catalysts emerge.
