WRBY Warby Parker Inc.
Executive Summary
An institutional cluster in WRBY reveals heavy buying by mega-passive funds (Fidelity +$92.7M, Morgan Stanley +$14.9M, Wells Fargo +$4.5M) while three active/quant sellers made near-exits or deep trims (D.E. Shaw -$45.0M, Nuveen -$28.4M, Wellington -$15.3M). The divergence suggests passive index rebalancing into the name — not a shared fundamental thesis — while informed active capital rotated out significantly.

Actionable Insight
The buying side is entirely passive (index rebalancing) while the selling side is active/quant with conviction exits — this skews the cluster signal bearish despite the headline net inflow. Monitor next 10-Q for whether active selling accelerated further; avoid treating the Fidelity ADD as a fundamental endorsement.
