Based on 16 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 53% of 3.0Y high
53% of all-time peak
Only 16 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 30 funds at 2023 Q1 — just 53% 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.
〰️
Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year
fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding this stock is almost the same as a year ago (+0 funds, +0% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — the institutional base is holding steady.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 45% buying
5 buying6 selling
Last quarter: 6 funds reduced or exited vs 5 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 — ~3 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 10 → 3 → 0 → 3. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
56% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 56% conviction (2yr+)
■ 31% medium
■ 12% new
9 out of 16 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
💎
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.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
2 → 10 → 3 → 0 → 3 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 10 → 3 → 0 → 3. 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.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 69% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 69% veterans
■ 6% 1-2yr
■ 25% new
Of 16 current holders: 11 (69%) 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 — 12% top-100 AUM
12% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 2 of 16 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. The stock is held mostly by smaller and mid-sized funds — the largest institutional players haven't yet built significant positions.
Exit risk score 1.2/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
