Swift Transportation Co (SWFT): Are Hedge Funds Right About This Stock?

Because Swift Transportation Co (NYSE:SWFT) has witnessed no change in sentiment from the aggregate hedge fund industry, we look at a sect of funds who sold off their full holdings by the end of the third quarter. Interestingly, Glenn J. Krevlin’s Glenhill Advisors said goodbye to the largest investment of the “upper crust” of funds watched by Insider Monkey, comprising about $32.4 million in stock. Larry Foley and Paul Farrell’s fund, Bronson Point Partners, also dumped its holding, about $4.6 million worth of SWFT shares. These transactions are intriguing to say the least, as aggregate hedge fund interest stayed the same (this is a bearish signal in our experience).
