MFCManulife Financial Corporation
What is the market doing?
No clear lean: rangebound and a token position.
Choppy, but holding above its 200-day average. Oversold (RSI 29). Price is +10% vs its 200-day average.
A token position, settled Sep 15, 2026, about a week of normal trading to cover. Down 50% since the previous count, down from 0.8% of shares outstanding three months ago.
Where this answer is blind. Insider selling is often routine (taxes, diversification); only cluster buying is a strong tell.
