Executive Summary
Six institutional asset managers added $4.4M net to Sotera Health in Q2 2026, with no sellers. The accumulation aligns with the company's strong Q2 earnings beat (adjusted EPS $0.26 vs. $0.24 consensus) and raised full-year guidance reported three days ago, suggesting institutions were positioning ahead of the positive results.
