Game Theory Scenarios

Bullish— Smart Money Convergence

Institutions inject $8.5B net; large buyers dominate

Signal Basis

13F filings show a net value change of +$8.46B, with BlackRock and Vanguard among the top five holders by value. Starlite Capital demonstrates exceptional conviction at 3.47% portfolio weight, alongside Sanders Capital at 1.11%. However, the signal is not uniform: 631 net sellers outnumber 435 net buyers, and exits (172) exceed new positions (103), suggesting smaller institutions are trimming while larger players accumulate. No insider activity data is available to corroborate.

Confirmation

A subsequent 13F showing net buyer count turning positive or top-tier institutions continuing to increase positions would further confirm the bullish thesis.

Invalidation Risk

If net seller count remains elevated and total institutional value begins to decline in future filings, the bullish interpretation would be undermined.

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 signal

Smart Money Convergence

ULTA does not currently have enough recent insider (Form 4) trading activity to compute a convergence signal against its 13F institutional flows.

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.
