The near-complete exits by Sumitomo Mitsui Trust and Asset Management One suggest a loss of conviction among large passive/active managers. Monitor next 10-Q for any fundamental deterioration or guidance revision that could explain the selling.
Executive Summary
Three institutional asset managers nearly exited their CNH positions in Q3 2026, selling a combined $23.1M, while one small ETF manager doubled a $9.6M stake. The cluster is overwhelmingly bearish, with no insider buying to corroborate conviction.
