📉
Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, 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.
📊
High ownership — 75% of 3.0Y peak
75% of all-time peak
9 funds currently hold this stock — 75% of the 3.0-year high of 12 funds (reached 2023 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 10% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
1 fewer hedge funds hold ADSEW compared to a year ago (-10% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 29% buying
2 buying5 selling
Last quarter: 5 funds sold vs only 2 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 → 2 → 0 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
56% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 56% conviction (2yr+)
■ 33% medium
■ 11% new
5 out of 9 hedge funds have held ADSEW 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 +4% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +38%, but actual share count only changed +4%. 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
2 → 2 → 2 → 0 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 2 → 2 → 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 — 78% veterans vs 11% newcomers
■ 78% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 11% new
Entry-cohort mix of 9 holders: 7 (78%) are 2+ year veterans, 1 entered 1–2 years ago, and 1 (11%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 0% AUM from top-100
0% from top-100 AUM funds
