📉
Selling streak — 2 quarters in a row
For 2 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.
📊
High ownership — 91% of 3.0Y peak
91% of all-time peak
21 funds currently hold this stock — 91% of the 3.0-year high of 23 funds (reached 2025 Q2). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 5% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
1 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-5% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟢
More buyers than sellers — 60% buying
6 buying4 selling
Last quarter: 6 funds were net buyers (1 opened a brand new position + 5 added to an existing one). Only 4 were sellers (2 trimmed + 2 sold completely). A clear majority buying is a strong confirmation signal.
➡️
Steady new buyers — ~1 new funds per quarter
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 4 → 4 → 2 → 1. A stable flow of new institutional buyers suggests ongoing interest without signs of either acceleration or slowdown.
🔄
Mostly new holders — 19% entered in last year
■ 10% conviction (2yr+)
■ 71% medium
■ 19% new
Only 2 funds (10%) have held >2 years. The majority of current holders are relatively new to the position. New holders tend to sell faster when prices drop — a shallow conviction base that could amplify any sell-off.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares -27%, value -99%
Last quarter: funds added -27% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -99%. 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
21 → 4 → 4 → 2 → 1 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 4 → 4 → 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.
🌱
Early stage — 90% of holders entered in last year
■ 10% veterans
■ 0% 1-2yr
■ 90% new
Of 21 current holders: 19 (90%) entered in the past year, only 2 (10%) are 2+ year veterans. This is an early-phase institutional idea — still being discovered. High upside potential if the thesis plays out, but thin conviction base.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 19% top-100 AUM
19% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 4 of 21 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 3.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
