The divergence between active quant buyers and mega-passive sellers creates an unusual signal. Monitor next quarter's 13F to see if the quant accumulation persists or reverses — a continuation would strengthen the bullish thesis. The BlackRock trim of $39.9M (37.5% reduction) is the dominant bearish data point.
Executive Summary
Institutional activity in PRAA during Q2 2026 was mixed: 27 buyers added $34.7M in new holdings (led by Millennium, American Century, and Jane Street), while 24 sellers reduced positions by $57.5M (led by BlackRock trimming $39.9M and UBS nearly exiting). The net selling pressure of $22.8M suggests cautious positioning despite strong accumulation by several active quant and asset managers.
