📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added ABLVW than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term momentum flip.
🔻
Below peak — only 67% of 3.0Y high
67% of all-time peak
Only 12 funds hold ABLVW today versus a peak of 18 funds at 2023 Q3 — just 67% of the maximum. Low institutional ownership can mean the stock is out of favor, but it also means there's a large pool of potential buyers if sentiment turns.
📉
Outflows — 29% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
5 fewer hedge funds hold ABLVW compared to a year ago (-29% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 33% buying
1 buying2 selling
Last quarter: 2 funds sold vs only 1 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 2 → 1 → 0 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
67% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 67% conviction (2yr+)
■ 25% medium
■ 8% new
8 out of 12 hedge funds have held ABLVW for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💰
Value +17% but shares only +0% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +17%, but actual share count only changed +0%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
1 → 2 → 1 → 0 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 1 → 0 → 1. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🏛️
Veteran-anchored — 67% veterans vs 25% newcomers
■ 67% veterans
■ 8% 1-2yr
■ 25% new
Entry-cohort mix of 12 holders: 8 (67%) are 2+ year veterans, 1 entered 1–2 years ago, and 3 (25%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 8% AUM from top-100
8% from top-100 AUM funds
3 of 12 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 8% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 2.4/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
