Selling streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their CCOI positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊

79% of all-time peak
240 funds currently hold this stock — 79% of the 3.0-year high of 304 funds (reached 2025 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 19% fewer funds vs a year ago
