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).
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.
VRTX posted net income of $4.4B over the trailing twelve months, and currently trades at a P/E of 32.4.

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.
See the institutional 13F filings behind this signalVRTX 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.
