Another week and another (fourth-consecutive) set of positive insider-sentiment data from Vickers Stock Research. Let's jump right in, looking at exchange data. Vickers' NYSE One-Week Sell/Buy Ratio is currently 1.44 on a scale where any result below 2.00 is bullish. This ratio has been bullish for four weeks in a row. The ongoing strength in the one-week data has now also pushed Vickers' longer-term (eight-week) sentiment reading into bullish territory. Indeed, the NYSE Eight-Week Sell/Buy Ratio is now bullish at 1.83. Turning to the Nasdaq, the One-Week Sell/Buy Ratio is essentially flat with last week at 2.67, which is just into the neutral zone (which runs from 2.00 to 6.00). Still, the short-term Nasdaq reading has been generally improving for multiple weeks and has led the Nasdaq Eight-Week Sell/Buy Ratio (currently 2.98) on a trend of improvement that is now 10 weeks in duration. Putting this all together, Vickers Total (all exchanges) One-Week Sell/Buy Ratio is now 2.05 (oh-so-close to bullish) and the Total Eight-Week Sell/Buy Ratio is now 2.34 (neutral but having improved for 10 consecutive weeks). When this run of bullish data began back on April 7, the S&P 500 was at 5062. On Friday, it closed at 5686, almost 12% higher. On a sector basis, insider buying narrowly exceeded selling in Consumer Discretionary last week, with shares valued at $6.44 million bought versus $6.42 million sold. Buying also outpaced selling in Energy -- although volume was light, with less than $1 million shares bought during the period. Selling was the greatest in the Financial sector over the last week, with shares valued at $73 million sold versus less than $4 million bought. Selling was also notable in Healthcare, Industrials, Real Estate, and Information Technology. This week, analysts at Vickers highlighted insider transactions of interest at Molina Healthcare Inc. (NYSE: MOH) and BlackRock Inc. (NYSE: BLK).

Its merger with Level 3 in 2017 and divestiture of much of its incumbent local exchange carrier, or ILEC, business in 2022 have shifted the company’s operations away from its legacy consumer business and toward enterprises (now about 75% of revenue). Lumen offers businesses a full menu of communications services, providing colocation and data center services, data transportation, and end-user phone and internet service. On the consumer side, Lumen provides broadband and phone service across 37 states, where it has 4.5 million broadband customers.
