Actionable Insight
The divergence between large active buyers (Neuberger Berman, Norges Bank) and sellers (Janus Henderson, Citadel) suggests no clear consensus. Monitor upcoming earnings for guidance on rate base growth and regulatory outcomes — these will likely determine which side is correct. The 45-day 13F lag means positions may have already been adjusted.
