📉
Selling streak — 3 quarters in a row
For 3 consecutive quarters, more hedge funds reduced or closed their CODI positions than added to them. Sustained institutional selling is a meaningful warning sign — these are professionals with deep research teams collectively deciding to exit.
📊
High ownership — 72% of 3.0Y peak
72% of all-time peak
166 funds currently hold this stock — 72% of the 3.0-year high of 230 funds (reached 2025 Q1). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📉
Outflows — 24% fewer funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
53 fewer hedge funds hold CODI compared to a year ago (-24% decline). When institutions consistently reduce their exposure, it's worth exploring the underlying fundamental reasons driving them away.
🔴
Heavy selling pressure — only 35% buying
74 buying140 selling
Last quarter: 140 funds sold vs only 74 buyers. This is widespread institutional distribution — not a few funds rebalancing, but a broad exit. High conviction bearish signal.
➡️

new funds entering per quarter

■ 60% conviction (2yr+)
■ 20% medium

💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +7%, value -23%
Last quarter: funds added +7% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -23%. 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
31 → 37 → 51 → 30 → 26 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 37 → 51 → 30 → 26. CODI is well-known in the hedge fund world, but fresh entries are gradually declining. The explosive phase of institutional discovery is likely behind us.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 67% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 67% veterans
■ 9% 1-2yr
■ 24% new
Of 172 current holders: 115 (67%) 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.
✅
Strong quality — 35% AUM from major funds
35% from top-100 AUM funds
31 of 166 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, accounting for 35% of total institutional value held. A meaningful share of the ownership value comes from the most well-resourced institutions.
Exit risk score 2.8/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
