Top 5 Institutional Movers
Institutions accumulate while insiders exclusively sell
Signal Basis
13F data shows strong institutional accumulation: a net value increase of roughly $11.54B, with 747 net buyers versus 594 net sellers, 235 new positions against only 66 exits. However, insider activity is purely one-directional selling — 5 sells and 0 buys in the trailing 30 days (~$10.1M sold), and 6 sells with 0 buys over 90 days (~$11.2M sold), with CEO Leon Topalian and multiple EVPs among the sellers.
Confirmation
A clearer direction would emerge if insider selling subsides alongside continued institutional inflows, or if institutions begin reducing exposure while insiders accelerate disposal.
Invalidation Risk
Sustained or escalating insider selling combined with a deceleration in institutional net buying would shift the balance toward a bearish interpretation.
These scenarios are AI-generated from this stock's institutional holders' SEC EDGAR Form 13F filings and describe historical patterns only. They are not a recommendation to buy or sell this stock; the filings behind this signal are linked below.
See the institutional 13F filings behind this signalNUE does not currently show a 13F-and-insider convergence signal — its insider confidence score is 0/100, below the threshold this product uses to flag combined buying pressure.
13F data as of 2026-06-30 quarterly filings. Note: many large institutions file close to the 45-day post-quarter deadline, so early-quarter flow figures can shift substantially as more filings arrive.
