Selling streak — 4 quarters in a row
For 4 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their CENN positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
🔻
Below peak — only 67% of 3.0Y high
67% of all-time peak
Only 26 funds hold CENN today versus a peak of 39 funds at 2025 Q1 — just 67% 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 — 33% fewer funds vs a year ago

🟡
Slight buying edge — 52% buying

Of the 26 current holders: 9 (35%) held >2 years, 10 held 1–2 years, and 7 entered in the last year. A mixed base — the stock has long-term believers but also recent buyers who haven't been tested by a downturn yet.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +57%, value +38%
Last quarter: funds added +57% more shares while total portfolio value only changed +38%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📊
Peak discovery — momentum slowing

New funds entering each quarter: 7 → 6 → 4 → 7. CENN is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
