NEUTRAL — WATCH
No clear whale direction for VRT. Bullish and bearish signals roughly cancel out. Insiders are net sellers (495,262 shares sold vs 336,844 bought) — management reducing exposure. Strong institutional ownership at 80.2%, but 4 of 10 top holders are distributing.
Action Plan
- Hold existing positions — no strong directional signal
- Wait for clearer whale activity before adding
- Monitor next earnings for institutional positioning changes
