📉
Selling streak — 1 quarter in a row
For 1 consecutive quarter, more hedge funds reduced or closed their CRESY 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 — 86% of 3.0Y peak
86% of all-time peak
57 funds currently hold this stock — 86% of the 3.0-year high of 66 funds (reached 2025 Q3). Ownership is elevated but not yet at maximum concentration. Room to grow, but watch if the trend reverses.
〰️
Stable — ownership unchanged year-over-year
fund count last 6Q
The number of hedge funds holding CRESY is almost the same as a year ago (+1 funds, +2% change). No significant rush to buy or sell — institutional backing is holding steady.
🟠
More sellers than buyers — 48% buying
33 buying36 selling
Last quarter: 36 funds reduced or exited vs 33 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.
⚠️
Fewer new buyers each quarter (-9 vs last Q)
new funds entering per quarter
Funds opening this position for the first time: 9 → 8 → 16 → 7. 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+)
■ 25% medium
■ 19% new
32 out of 57 hedge funds have held CRESY 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.
💰
Value +39% but shares only +1% — price-driven
Last quarter: the total dollar value of institutional holdings rose +39%, but actual share count only changed +1%. The gap is explained by the stock's price rising — not new buying. Strong value growth with weak share growth means the rally is price momentum, not fresh institutional demand.
➡️
Steady discovery — ~7 new funds/quarter
8 → 9 → 8 → 16 → 7 new funds/Q
New funds entering each quarter: 9 → 8 → 16 → 7. Consistent flow of new institutional buyers without clear acceleration or slowdown.
🏛️
Deep conviction — 58% of holders stayed 2+ years
■ 58% veterans
■ 19% 1-2yr
■ 24% new
Of 59 current holders: 34 (58%) 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.
📋
Smaller funds dominant — 4% AUM from top-100
4% from top-100 AUM funds
11 of 57 holders rank in the top 100 by AUM, but together hold only 4% of total institutional value. The stock is held primarily by smaller and mid-sized funds.
Exit risk score 3.0/10 — low institutional crowding. Ownership is below peak levels, holder base is relatively sticky, and buying momentum is positive.
