Vertical Aerospace's 8.3% pullback adds to one-year losses, hedge funds owners may take drastic measures due to large institutional ownership and insider selling.

Vertical Aerospace's recent 8.3% stock price pullback adds to its one-year losses, making its hedge fund owners vulnerable to drastic measures. Institutions hold 54% of the company's stock, with Mudrick Capital Management being the largest shareholder. Insiders have been selling shares lately. As hedge funds have the most to lose, their aggressive management style may lead them to influence management decisions that diverge from the company's long-term goals.
