The sharp divergence — with mega-passives like BofA and Morgan Stanley adding aggressively while Fidelity exited nearly $381M — suggests a fundamental disagreement on valuation or housing market outlook. Traders should monitor housing macro indicators and upcoming earnings for catalysts.

However, Fidelity and Wells Fargo trimmed their holdings significantly, with Fidelity alone exiting $381M in value, signaling divergent institutional sentiment.
