Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their AMRN positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻
Below peak — only 39% of 3.0Y high
39% of all-time peak
Only 71 funds hold AMRN today versus a peak of 182 funds at 2023 Q2 — just 39% 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 — 50% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
71 fewer hedge funds hold AMRN compared to a year ago (-50% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟠

■ 18% medium

13 → 16 → 11 → 10 → 6 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 16 → 11 → 10 → 6. 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.

■ 11% 1-2yr
■ 8% new
Entry-cohort mix of 74 holders: 60 (81%) are 2+ year veterans, 8 entered 1–2 years ago, and 6 (8%) joined within the past year. A veteran-weighted cap table skews toward institutional memory over fresh momentum.

Exit risk score 1.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
