Key insights
- The post highlights a perceived trend of significant institutional selling across various tickers, including VST, HIMS, and ABCB. The author expresses concern that this widespread selling may signal a potential bearish turn in the market. While the observation might be valid, further investigation is needed to confirm the extent and cause of this selling pressure and its broader implications for US equities.

Has anyone noticed large percentages of institutional investors selling out of positions and why it’s happening? It seems like every company I look at there has been large swings of 50%-90% of institutions selling out of positions. Is this signaling a bearish turn in the market? Is it strictly sector based? But it’s making me slightly skeptical of what’s to come and I don’t normally get flustered by potential market shifts.
A couple examples I’ve seen today:
$VST - institutions cut positions by 92.72% this last month
$HIMS - cut positions by 85.6%
$ABCB - cut positions by 96.40%
Name almost any other ticker and you’ll see similar results.
Maybe I’m just not reading this correctly but something seems off to me. Anyone else seeing something similar?
