Institutional Ownership Trends

Schneider National, Inc. (SNDR) — Ownership Profile

Institutional ownership of Schneider National, Inc. has risen to 40.19% as of 2026Q1, reflecting a net increase of 7.41 percentage points over the prior year. The upward trend represents two consecutive quarters of accumulation, but it falls short of the three‑quarter threshold required to label the pattern as sustained accumulation. With ownership just above the 40% light‑hold benchmark and a shareholder base of 295 institutional investors, the float remains relatively dispersed.

Ownership Overview

SNDR

Institutions are currently modestly accumulating shares in Schneider National, as indicated by a 7.41pp rise and two straight quarters of net buying. However, the lack of a third consecutive increase means the accumulation signal is not yet sustained, suggesting that institutional sentiment remains cautiously optimistic rather than strongly bullish. The presence of 295 distinct investors points to a diversified institutional base, which mitigates concentration risk while still providing meaningful support for the stock.

Position Flow Analysis

Schneider National, Inc. (SNDR) — Position Flows

Schneider National, Inc. (SNDR) exhibits a strong net accumulation pattern, as indicated by its current flow ratio of 1.8, which exceeds the 1.5 threshold for robust buying pressure. The conviction ratio of 0.69 further suggests that existing shareholders are increasing their stakes, reinforcing the positive sentiment reflected in the net inflow of 102 million dollars.

Position Flow Metrics

SNDR

The flow ratio of 1.8 signals that institutions are actively opening new positions and adding to existing holdings, while the conviction ratio above 0.6 confirms that current investors are also increasing their exposure. This convergence of strong accumulation and high conviction indicates a cohesive bullish stance among both new and incumbent institutional owners.

Float & Options Context

Schneider National, Inc. (SNDR) — Float & Options

Schneider National, Inc. (SNDR) has an estimated free float of 59.81%, derived from its institutional ownership of 40.19%. This places the stock just below the ample‑float threshold (>60%) and suggests a moderate amount of shares are available for trading without significant concentration risk. The put/call ratio sits at 0.0, indicating virtually no puts relative to calls and a strongly call‑heavy positioning, which typically reflects bullish sentiment among options traders.

Float & Options Overview

SNDR

The zero put/call ratio signals aggressive buying pressure from option market participants, implying confidence in upside momentum. With a moderate float of roughly 60%, the stock is not constrained enough to trigger squeeze dynamics, but the combination of ample call interest and a sizable free float supports a favorable risk‑reward profile for investors seeking exposure.

Insider Trading Patterns

Schneider National, Inc. (SNDR) — Insider Activity

Over the past twelve months, Schneider National, Inc. (SNDR) recorded no insider purchases and six sales totaling $1.57 million, yielding a buy/sell ratio of 0.0 on both value and count metrics—well below the 0.2 threshold that flags heavy selling. The two most recent transactions were executed by senior officers—EVP & COO Mark B. Rourke (32,057 shares for $1.06 M) and EVP‑General Counsel Thomas G. Jackson (two sales of 18,248 and 19,836 shares totaling $1.09 M). While insider selling at the C‑suite level can be routine compensation or tax‑driven, the absence of any offsetting purchases and the concentration of sales among top executives warrants close monitoring for potential bearish signals.

Insider Activity Summary

SNDR

The recent cluster of sales by two C‑suite officers—representing roughly 75% of total insider sell volume—suggests a notable level of net disposition. Given the lack of accompanying purchases and the magnitude relative to typical compensation-driven trades, this pattern leans toward a bearish interpretation, though it may still reflect scheduled equity awards or diversification plans.
