➡️
No change last quarter
The number of hedge funds holding this stock didn't change last quarter. Neither a buying nor selling signal on its own — watch the next quarter for direction.
🔻
Below peak — only 68% of 3.0Y high
68% of all-time peak
Only 34 funds hold this stock today versus a peak of 50 funds at 2023 Q4 — just 68% 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 — 15% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
6 fewer hedge funds hold this stock compared to a year ago (-15% decline). When institutions consistently reduce exposure, it's worth asking what they know that retail investors don't.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 44% buying
4 buying5 selling
Last quarter: 5 funds reduced or exited vs 4 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.
➡️

■ 79% conviction (2yr+)
■ 6% medium
■ 15% new
27 out of 34 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 -1%, value -70%
Last quarter: funds added -1% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -70%. Institutions were buying while the price was falling — a high-conviction accumulation signal. They're deliberately loading up on the dip.
📈
Growing discovery — still being found
0 → 0 → 1 → 3 → 2 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 0 → 1 → 3 → 2. A growing number of institutions are discovering this stock each quarter. The idea is still spreading — there is room for more buyers to enter.

📋
Smaller funds dominant — 15% top-100 AUM
15% from top-100 AUM funds
Only 5 of 34 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 2.1/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
