At Holdings Channel, we have reviewed the latest batch of the 26 most recent 13F filings for the 12/31/2025 reporting period, and noticed that Vertiv Holdings Co (Symbol: VRT) was held by 11 of these funds. When hedge fund managers appear to be thinking alike, we find it is a good idea to take a closer look.
Before we proceed, it is important to point out that 13F filings do not tell the whole story, because these funds are only required to disclose their long positions with the SEC, but are not required to disclose their short positions. A fund making a bearish bet against a stock by shorting calls, for example, might also be long some amount of stock as they trade around their overall bearish position. This long component could show up in a 13F filing and everyone might assume the fund is bullish, but this tells only part of the story because the bearish/short side of the position is not seen.
Having given that caveat, we believe that looking at groups of 13F filings can be revealing, especially when comparing one holding period to another. Below, let's take a look at the change in VRT positions, for this latest batch of 13F filers:

Looking beyond these particular funds in this one batch of most recent filers, we tallied up the VRT share count in the aggregate among all of the funds which held VRT at the 12/31/2025 reporting period (out of the 4,456 we looked at in total). We then compared that number to the sum total of VRT shares those same funds held back at the 09/30/2025 period, to see how the aggregate share count held by hedge funds has moved for VRT. We found that between these two periods, funds reduced their holdings by 2,477,503 shares in the aggregate, from 81,231,543 down to 78,754,040 for a share count decline of approximately -3.05%.
