The unanimous buying by three active managers, including two doubling their stakes, signals conviction in FirstEnergy's near-term outlook. Monitor upcoming earnings for evidence of regulatory progress or operational improvements that could validate this accumulation. The 45-day reporting lag means positions may have been adjusted since quarter-end.
