📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their ARKAY 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 62% of 3.0Y high
62% of all-time peak
Only 5 funds hold ARKAY today versus a peak of 8 funds at 2025 Q4 — just 62% 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.
🚀
Fast accumulation — +25% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+1 new funds entered over the past year (+25% YoY). That's a rapid rush of institutional money. Fast accumulation often signals a major thesis — but it also means the stock could fall quickly if that thesis breaks.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 43% buying
3 buying4 selling
Last quarter: 4 funds reduced or exited vs 3 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.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter

Funds opening this position for the first time: 1 → 2 → 3 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
60% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 60% conviction (2yr+)
■ 0% medium
■ 40% new
3 out of 5 hedge funds have held ARKAY 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 +577% but shares only +507% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +577%, but actual share count only changed +507%. 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.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~1 new funds/quarter
0 → 1 → 2 → 3 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 1 → 2 → 3 → 1. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 60% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 60% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 40% new
Of 5 current holders: 3 (60%) 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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 6% AUM from top-100
6% from top-100 AUM funds
1 of 5 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 6% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 3.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
