Based on 9 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
➡️
No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
🔻
Below peak — only 22% of 3.0Y high
22% of all-time peak
Only 9 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 40 funds at 2024 Q2 — just 22% 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 — 25% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
3 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-25% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 38% buying
3 buying5 selling
Last quarter: 5 funds sold vs only 3 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: 3 → 1 → 2 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
📌
Mixed — 33% long-term, 11% new
■ 33% conviction (2yr+)
■ 56% medium
■ 11% new
Of the 9 current holders: 3 (33%) held >2 years, 5 held 1–2 years, and 1 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -10%, value -99%
Last quarter: funds added -10% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -99%. 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 → 3 → 1 → 2 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 3 → 1 → 2 → 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 — 56% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 56% veterans
■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 33% new
Of 9 current holders: 5 (56%) 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 — 33% from major AUM funds
33% from top-100 AUM funds
3 of 9 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 1.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
