Why This Fund Dumped a $103 Million Regional Bank Position Amid a 37% Rally

North Reef sold 2,875,245 shares of Stellar Bancorp in the first quarter, an estimated $103.10 million transaction based on quarterly average pricing. The filing is primarily a flow/positioning signal rather than an operating update, and on its own is unlikely to materially change fundamentals. The sale may be read as a mild negative sentiment indicator for the stock.
