🔻
Below peak — only 62% of 3.0Y high
62% of all-time peak
Only 16 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 26 funds at 2025 Q1 — 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.
📉
Outflows — 30% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
7 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-30% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 40% buying
6 buying9 selling
Last quarter: 9 funds reduced or exited vs 6 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.

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -27%, value -50%
