📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their ADSEW positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊

77% of all-time peak
10 funds currently hold this stock — 77% of the 3.0-year high of 13 funds (reached 2023 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -39%, value -94%
Last quarter: funds added -39% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -94%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
3 → 2 → 2 → 2 → 0 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 2 → 2 → 0. 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.
🏛️

■ 80% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 20% new
Of 10 current holders: 8 (80%) 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.
