📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row

81% of all-time peak
98 funds currently hold this stock — 81% of the 3.0-year high of 121 funds (reached 2024 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 15% fewer funds vs a year ago

17 fewer hedge funds hold ADV compared to a year ago (-15% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 43% buying
44 buying58 selling
Last quarter: 58 funds reduced or exited vs 44 that bought or added. When more than half of active funds are selling, it's a caution flag — especially if the stock price hasn't moved down yet.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-10 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 19 → 17 → 24 → 14. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -1%, value -76%
