Hancock Whitney and Agree Realty Round Out Banking and REIT Bets

Director Greg Lehmkuhl added to that insider confidence, buying 750 shares on May 14 at about $75.09 each, according to Watchlist News.
D.R. Horton Position Backed by Rising Analyst Forecasts
Edgestream also entered D.R. Horton, the nation's largest homebuilder, with 54,640 shares valued at about $7.50 million. Institutional investors already own roughly 90.63% of D.R. Horton, showing how crowded the trade has become, per Ticker Report.
Analysts are growing more bullish on the stock. Wolfe Research raised its fiscal year 2027 earnings-per-share forecast to $11.98. Keefe, Bruyette & Woods kept a Market Perform rating but set a price target of $167. Those catalysts may have helped draw Edgestream into the name.
Edgestream's Broad Push Reflects Mid-Cap Rebalancing Strategy
Taken together, the five new positions show Edgestream shifting money into real assets, housing, and regional finance. The firm added exposure across very different sectors in one quarter. That kind of broad buying usually means a deliberate portfolio rebalancing, not just opportunistic trades.
Dimensional Fund Advisors remains one of the larger players nearby, holding 4,790,954 shares of Hancock Whitney worth about $304.7 million. Edgestream's moves are smaller but reflect the same trend — big institutions actively repositioning in mid-cap equities heading into mid-2025, according to Watchlist News.
