Based on 307 hedge funds · latest filing: 2025 Q4 · updated quarterly
📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their CRC 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 — 94% of 3.0Y peak
94% of all-time peak
307 funds currently hold this stock — 94% of the 3.0-year high of 325 funds (reached 2025 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
📶
Steady growth — +15% more funds vs a year ago
fund count last 6Q
+41 new funds entered over the past year (+15% YoY). Gradual, steady growth in institutional ownership is generally a healthy signal — not a speculative rush, but consistent conviction.
🟡
Slight buying edge — 52% buying
189 buying172 selling
Last quarter: 189 funds bought or added vs 172 that reduced or exited. It's nearly a 50/50 split — some institutions are convinced, others are taking profits. This mixed picture is normal near price highs.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-12 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 47 → 64 → 73 → 61. Each quarter fewer new institutions are entering. This usually means most funds that wanted in are already in — the stock is well-known but the pool of potential new buyers is shrinking.
🔒
56% of holders stayed for 2+ years
■ 56% conviction (2yr+)
■ 20% medium
■ 24% new
171 out of 307 hedge funds have held CRC for over 2 years without selling. Long-term investors are generally harder to shake out during market stress, creating a stable ownership base that limits the risk of sudden capitulation.
💎
Buying through price weakness — shares +7%, value -90%
Last quarter: funds added +7% more shares while total portfolio value only changed -90%. 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
49 → 47 → 64 → 73 → 61 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 47 → 64 → 73 → 61. A growing number of institutions are discovering CRC each quarter. The narrative is still spreading — leaving room for ongoing capital accumulation.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 64% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 64% veterans
■ 9% 1-2yr
■ 27% new
Of 313 current holders: 201 (64%) 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.
🏆
Elite ownership — 40% AUM from top-100 funds
40% from top-100 AUM funds
37 of 307 holders are among the 100 largest funds by AUM, controlling 40% of total institutional value in CRC. When the biggest players dominate the cap table, it signifies deep institutional support — since mega-funds deploy the most rigorous due diligence and capital.
Exit risk score 3.6/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
