📉
Selling streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed this position than added to it. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams deciding to exit.
🔻
Below peak — only 52% of 3.0Y high
52% of all-time peak
Only 52 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 100 funds at 2024 Q4 — just 52% 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 — 48% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
48 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-48% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 37% buying
23 buying40 selling
Last quarter: 40 funds sold vs only 23 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~7 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter

🔒
56% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 56% conviction (2yr+)
■ 19% medium
■ 25% new
29 out of 52 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 -4%, value -41%
Last quarter: funds added -4% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -41%. 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
28 → 9 → 24 → 11 → 7 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 9 → 24 → 11 → 7. 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 — 55% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 55% veterans
■ 21% 1-2yr
■ 24% new
Of 58 current holders: 32 (55%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 27% from major AUM funds
27% from top-100 AUM funds
14 of 52 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. A meaningful share of the ownership base comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 1.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
