📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added AMAL 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 — 87% of 3.0Y peak
87% of all-time peak

📉
Outflows — 13% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
24 fewer hedge funds hold AMAL compared to a year ago (-13% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.

86 buying78 selling

■ 24% medium

💰
Value +20% but shares only +1% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +20%, but actual share count only changed +1%. 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.

New funds entering each quarter: 23 → 18 → 18 → 31. A growing number of institutions are discovering AMAL each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.

■ 64% veterans
■ 16% 1-2yr
■ 21% new

Elite ownership — 43% AUM from top-100 funds
43% from top-100 AUM funds
34 of 159 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 43% of total institutional value in AMAL. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
