NB NIOCORP DEVELOPMENTS LTD
Executive Summary

Rowe Price) collectively added $12.3M in NB shares during Q4 2025, with BlackRock alone increasing its stake by $9.4M (+74.7% shares). The cluster is entirely passive/index-driven, reflecting broad market or sector allocation rather than a fundamental thesis on Niocorp Developments.

Actionable Insight
The cluster is entirely passive rebalancing by index funds, not a conviction-driven signal. Given NB's poor historical T+20 performance (-21.66% avg) and negative net alpha in this segment, traders should not interpret this as a bullish catalyst. Monitor for any active manager or insider buying before considering a position.
