Across its top 20 institutional holders, ULTA's holder base skews toward low-concentration, low-turnover investors on average (avg. concentration score 7/100, avg. turnover score 35/100).
ULTA ranks #452 out of 37501 tracked stocks by institutional interest — one of the most closely watched names in our coverage.
1040 institutions disclose a position in ULTA, but none treat it as a major bet — even Starlite Capital INC, its most concentrated holder, allocates just 3.5% of its own portfolio to it.
Sanders Capital, LLC has added to its ULTA position for two straight quarters, increasing it by $345.3M to reach $1.1B today.
BlackRock has trimmed its ULTA position for two straight quarters, cutting it by $668.2M while still holding $1.8B.
ULTA is up 3.8% today, and institutions have been net buyers of $8.5B this quarter — today's price move and the underlying institutional flow are pointing the same direction.
ULTA posted net income of $1.2B over the trailing twelve months, and currently trades at a P/E of 20.0.

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.

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.
