13F net value change of -$1.21B, net sellers outpacing buyers 403 to 348, and exits (124) exceeding new buys (80)—clear institutional distribution. No insider activity reported to offset the outflow.

Confirmation

Continued net selling in next quarter’s 13F would strengthen the bearish case.

Invalidation Risk

A sudden surge of large new institutional buyers or insider buying would invalidate this verdict.
