💰
Value +21% but shares only +2% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +21%, but actual share count only changed +2%. 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.
