📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added ACRV 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.
📊
High ownership — 80% of 3.0Y peak
80% of all-time peak
47 funds currently hold this stock — 80% of the 3.0-year high of 59 funds (reached 2025 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 18% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
10 fewer hedge funds hold ACRV compared to a year ago (-18% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 60% buying
24 buying16 selling
Last quarter: 24 funds were net buyers (8 opened a brand new position + 16 added to an existing one). Only 16 were sellers (10 trimmed + 6 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~8 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 8 → 16 → 6 → 8. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.

■ 47% conviction (2yr+)
■ 34% medium
■ 19% new
22 out of 47 hedge funds have held ACRV 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 +38% but shares only +6% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +38%, but actual share count only changed +6%. 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
11 → 8 → 16 → 6 → 8 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 8 → 16 → 6 → 8. 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.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 53% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 53% veterans
■ 21% 1-2yr
■ 26% new
Of 47 current holders: 25 (53%) 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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 14% AUM from top-100
14% from top-100 AUM funds
15 of 47 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 14% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 2.5/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
