Insider Trading Activity
$QSI insiders have displayed a significant trend of selling their shares rather than buying. In the last 6 months alone, all 14 transactions were sales, which can signal a lack of confidence from insiders about the company’s short-term performance. Notably, Christian LaPointe, the General Counsel & Corp. Secretary, sold 4,896 shares for approximately $6,783. Other executives also participated in selling, including Jonathan Rothberg who sold over 3.5 million shares.

Hedge Fund Activity
The activity among institutional investors has shown more complexity with 69 investors adding shares while 50 decreased their exposure. Noteworthy transactions include Morgan Stanley making a significant addition of over 3 million shares (+1036.5%). In contrast, ARK Investment Management and others have significantly reduced their positions by over 25%, which reflects conflicting sentiments about the stock.

Analyst Ratings
Despite the heavy selling from insiders and some hedge funds, the analyst ratings present a more optimistic view. One firm, Alliance Global Partners, has issued a 'Buy' rating on the stock. This indicates that at least some market experts believe in the potential recovery or growth of $QSI, reinforcing the potential for future investor interest.
