📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their AZTR 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 64% of 3.0Y high
64% of all-time peak
Only 7 funds hold AZTR today versus a peak of 11 funds at 2025 Q1 — just 64% 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 — 36% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
4 fewer hedge funds hold AZTR compared to a year ago (-36% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 54% buying
7 buying6 selling
Last quarter: 7 funds bought or added vs 6 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~4 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 0 → 0 → 5 → 4. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 57% entered in last year
■ 0% conviction (2yr+)
■ 43% medium
■ 57% new
Only 0 funds (0%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +140%, value +112%
Last quarter: funds added +140% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +112%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~4 new funds/quarter
3 → 0 → 0 → 5 → 4 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 0 → 5 → 4. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🌱
Early stage — 57% of holders entered in last year
■ 0% veterans
■ 43% 1-2yr
■ 57% new
Of 7 current holders: 4 (57%) entered in the past year, only 0 (0%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
🏆
Elite ownership — 93% AUM from top-100 funds
93% from top-100 AUM funds
4 of 7 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 93% of total institutional value in AZTR. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 2.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
