The absence of selling and strong participation from large passive managers suggests growing confidence in LOAR’s fundamentals or sector positioning. Traders should monitor for follow-on retail or active manager interest, and watch upcoming earnings for validation of this institutional thesis.

The cluster reflects strong accumulation, led by Morgan Stanley doubling its stake and adding $51.4M in value, signaling growing institutional interest.
