📈
Buying streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds added CABA than sold it. That's a consistent pattern of professional buying — not a one-time trade. When institutions keep buying quarter after quarter, it usually means they see a multi-year opportunity, not just a short-term momentum flip.
🔻
Below peak — only 61% of 3.0Y high
61% of all-time peak
Only 92 funds hold CABA today versus a peak of 151 funds at 2024 Q1 — just 61% 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 — 10% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
10 fewer hedge funds hold CABA compared to a year ago (-10% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
