📉
Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed this position than added to it. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams deciding to exit.
🔻
Below peak — only 56% of 3.0Y high
56% of all-time peak
Only 10 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 18 funds at 2023 Q3 — just 56% 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 — 38% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
6 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-38% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 25% buying
2 buying6 selling

■ 60% conviction (2yr+)
■ 20% medium
■ 20% new
6 out of 10 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -9%, value -98%
Last quarter: funds added -9% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -98%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing
1 → 2 → 1 → 1 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 1 → 1 → 1. The stock is well-known in the hedge fund world but new entries are declining. The easy phase of institutional discovery may be behind us.

Deep conviction — 70% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 70% veterans
■ 10% 1-2yr
■ 20% new
Of 10 current holders: 7 (70%) have held for over 2 years without selling. These are not momentum buyers — they have lived through drawdowns and stayed. A large veteran base acts as a stabilizing force during selloffs.
✅
Strong quality — 20% from major AUM funds
20% from top-100 AUM funds
2 of 10 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. A meaningful share of the ownership base comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 2.5/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
