Why should traders care about block trades? Block trades typically imply that “smart money” is buying or selling a stock. In Ulta’s case, a person or firm was selling more than $200 million worth of Ulta stock.
This morning’s block trade was also accompanied by market rumors of an Ulta secondary offering. The stock seems to have stabilized a bit off the opening, but traders should continue watching the stock closely for any additional unusual behavior.
