📉
Selling streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed this position than added to it. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams deciding to exit.
🔻
Below peak — only 40% of 3.0Y high
40% of all-time peak
Only 12 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 30 funds at 2023 Q3 — just 40% 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 — 40% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
8 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-40% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 17% buying
1 buying5 selling
Last quarter: 5 funds sold vs only 1 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 5 → 1 → 2 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔒
83% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 83% conviction (2yr+)
■ 8% medium
■ 8% new
10 out of 12 hedge funds have held this stock for over 2 years without selling. Long-term holders are harder to shake out during market dips — they represent a stable ownership base that reduces the risk of sudden mass selling.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -5%, value -97%
Last quarter: funds added -5% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -97%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
⚠️
Saturation — most institutions already know this story
0 → 5 → 1 → 2 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 5 → 1 → 2 → 1. Far fewer institutions are entering now vs. a year ago. When the pool of potential new buyers shrinks this fast, future price support from institutional inflows weakens significantly.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 92% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 92% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 8% new
Of 12 current holders: 11 (92%) 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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 17% top-100 AUM
17% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 2 of 12 current holders rank in the top 100 by AUM. The stock is held mostly by smaller and mid-sized funds — the largest institutional players haven't yet built significant positions.
Exit risk score 1.9/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
