The divergence between passive buyers and active/sovereign sellers suggests no strong shared catalyst. Monitor upcoming earnings for any fundamental deterioration that could explain the Norges Bank exit and Invesco/UBS trims. The passive buying is likely index-related and not thesis-driven.
Executive Summary
In Q3 2025, four institutional investors added to KNF positions (net +$39.2M) while three reduced holdings (net -$105.7M), resulting in a net selling imbalance of ~$66.5M. The selling is dominated by a full exit from Norges Bank ($53.3M) and significant trims by Invesco ($34.6M) and UBS ($17.8M), while buyers are primarily passive/index managers adding incrementally. This suggests a mixed institutional view with a bearish tilt from active sovereign and passive rebalancing sellers.
