View all 1771 holding institutions

Across its top 20 institutional holders, VRTX's holder base skews toward low-concentration, low-turnover investors on average (avg. concentration score 6/100, avg. turnover score 33/100).

Notable Holders

VRTX ranks #179 out of 37501 tracked stocks by institutional interest — one of the most closely watched names in our coverage.

1771 institutions disclose a position in VRTX, but none treat it as a major bet — even Loomis Sayles & Co L P, its most concentrated holder, allocates just 2.4% of its own portfolio to it.

Invesco Ltd. has added to its VRTX position for two straight quarters, increasing it by $3.0B to reach $4.0B today.

Alliancebernstein L.p. has trimmed its VRTX position for two straight quarters, cutting it by $690.3M while still holding $1.3B.

VRTX is up 1% today, and institutions have been net buyers of $56.6B this quarter — today's price move and the underlying institutional flow are pointing the same direction.

Game Theory Scenarios

Bullish— Smart Money Convergence

Institutional accumulation outweighs modest insider selling

Signal Basis

Q2 2026 13F filings show a net institutional value increase of roughly $56.6 billion in VRTX, with 890 net buyers versus 743 net sellers and 177 new positions against 110 exits; meanwhile, insider activity over the past 90 days amounts to only 4 reported sales totaling about $2.3 million with zero purchases and a 0.0 confidence score, so the two sides appear far from equal in magnitude.

Confirmation

Fresh insider buying — ideally a cluster purchase across multiple executives — alongside continued growth in net institutional buyer counts would further confirm this reading.

Invalidation Risk

A reversal to institutional net distribution next quarter, or a marked acceleration in insider selling, would undermine this assessment.

AI-generated from institutional holders' SEC EDGAR disclosures and limited to historical data. Should not be relied upon as the sole basis for any investment decision.

Smart Money Convergence

VRTX 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.
