Frequently asked questions about WU activity

  • What does "buy" mean in WU activity?

    "Buy" means an investor increased their reported position in WU compared to the prior reporting period. This reflects growing exposure to WESTERN UNION CO (WU) rather than necessarily a brand-new position (though new positions also appear as buys when prior quantity was zero).

  • Is institutional interest in WU increasing?
