📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their CCD positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🏔️
At the ownership peak (99% of max)
99% of all-time peak
70 hedge funds hold CCD right now — the highest count in 3.0 years. When ownership is this concentrated, any bad news can trigger a chain reaction: one big fund sells, others follow. This is a classic 'crowded trade' — high popularity doesn't equal safety.
📶
Steady growth — +9% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+6 new funds entered over the past year (+9% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 45% buying
29 buying35 selling
Last quarter: 35 funds reduced or exited vs 29 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-7 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 5 → 9 → 15 → 8. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒
56% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 56% conviction (2yr+)
■ 26% medium
■ 19% new
39 out of 70 hedge funds have held CCD for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💰
Price up while funds trimmed (+757% value, -6% shares)
Last quarter: total value of institutional CCD holdings rose +757% even though funds reduced share count by 6%. The stock price increased enough to offset the selling. Institutions are quietly trimming into price strength — watch for rotation.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~8 new funds/quarter
8 → 5 → 9 → 15 → 8 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 9 → 15 → 8. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 59% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 59% veterans
■ 19% 1-2yr
■ 23% new
Of 70 current holders: 41 (59%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 93% AUM from top-100 funds
93% from top-100 AUM funds
10 of 70 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 93% of total institutional value in CCD. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
