Institutional owners (13F) 48 filers · $32.8M total · As of June 30, 2026
Institutions that report holding this stock in their quarterly SEC Form 13F. Long positions only; a single filer may appear twice for separate option legs. Large offsetting put/call legs typically reflect market-making or hedged inventory, not directional conviction.
| New positions | Exited positions | Increased | Decreased | Net shares change |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 13 (+5 vs prior Q) | 8 (+3 vs prior Q) | 15 (+7 vs prior Q) | 4 (-10 vs prior Q) | -268K |
Compared to Q1 2026. SEC Form 13F filings are due within 45 days of quarter-end plus a short buffer for late filers — quarters still inside that window are skipped in favor of the most recent fully-reported pair.
