Insider-sentiment data from Vickers Stock Research continues to improve within the neutral band - but in so doing actually seems to be coalescing within neutral and not preparing to break into bullish or bearish territory. And with all the headlines flying about (earnings, war, inflation, elections, tariffs, interest rates), neutral is a hard stance to dispute. The broadest sentiment gauge from Vickers, the Total (all exchanges) Eight-Week Sell/Buy Ratio, is currently at 5.13 in a range where neutral sentiment runs from 2.00 to 6.00. The current ratio is better than the 6.64 reading from one month ago, but a good distance from the 2.00 needed for a bullish result. And the sector data from Vickers is 'even more neutral.' While not one of the 11 S&P 500 sectors is currently bearish on an eight-week basis (something not seen since late May), eight sectors are neutral and three are bullish. But one of the sectors is a single basis point away from neutral. So arguably nine of the 11 sectors are squarely on the sentiment sidelines. By zooming in, however, we can see some hints as to where the longer-term trends may be pulled. On a one-week basis, five of the 11 sectors record bullish sell/buy ratios, four record neutral ratios, and two record bearish ratios. The Consumer Discretionary, Energy, Financial, Real Estate, and Utility sectors all hold bullish one-week sell/buy ratios. The Consumer Staples, Healthcare, Industrial, and Information Technology sectors all record neutral readings. The Communication Services and Materials sectors both hold bearish sell/buy ratios, coming in at 7.0 and 11.0, respectively. We will be keeping a keen eye on how these shorter-term readings drive future movement in the eight-week readings. This week, analysts at Vickers highlighted insider transactions of interest at Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. (NYSE: BABA) and Corpay Inc. (NYSE: CPAY).
