The Big Picture on Fund Positioning

Strategy Inc - Preferred Stock (NasdaqGS:STRK) is catching the attention of institutional players, with 120 funds and institutions now holding positions in the stock. The roster expanded by 9 new institutional players in the last three months, marking an 8.11% uptick in fund participation. However, the aggregate behavior reveals complexity—while average portfolio allocation per fund grew by 4.52%, total institutional share count actually declined by 0.19% to 9,024K shares, suggesting a rotation rather than a wholesale buying spree.

What Major Institutions Are Doing

The institutional response shows diverging strategies. Capital International Investors maintained leadership with 2,084K shares but trimmed its portfolio weighting in STRK by 28.69% over the quarter, even as its absolute position ticked up 0.40% from prior filings. Meanwhile, ANCFX - American Funds Fundamental Investors is doubling down—boosting holdings from 1,846K to 2,030K shares (+9.05%) while simultaneously expanding its allocation weight by 39.77%.

The most aggressive move came from PFF - iShares Preferred and Income Securities ETF, which jumped from 623K to 814K shares (+23.43%) and more than doubled its portfolio exposure with a 93.55% allocation increase. Capital World Investors and Voya Investment Management round out the top five holders with 636K and 625K shares respectively, though Capital World pulled back its weighting by 13.46% despite growing absolute holdings by 17.71%. Voya showed no movement last quarter.

Analyst Consensus Signals Strong Upside Potential

Amid this institutional shuffling, analyst sentiment has shifted meaningfully. The updated one-year price target for STRK stands at $251.29 per share, representing a 13.86% boost from the previous estimate of $220.69 set in mid-November 2025. The consensus reflects input from multiple analysts, with individual targets ranging between $200.72 and $346.15 per share.

Against the latest closing price of $84.00 per share, this collective price target implies potential upside of 199.15%—a gap that suggests either substantial undervaluation or elevated risk assumptions embedded in the estimates.
